Eukaryotic telomeres replicate differently than the rest of the chromosome.?

This is a consequence of which of the following?

a) Gaps left at the 5′ end of the lagging strand because of the need for a 3′ onto which nucleotides can attach
b) The “no ends” of a circular chromosome
c) Gaps left at the 3′ end of the lagging strand because of the need for a primer
d) DNA polymerase that cannot replicate the leading strand template to its 5′ end
e) The evolution of telomerase enzyme

a) Gaps left at the 5′ end of the lagging strand because of the need for a 3′ onto which nucleotides can attach
