After replication has taken place, the correct choice is:
**two molecules, each with one original and one new strand.**
This describes the semi-conservative nature of DNA replication, where each of the two resulting DNA molecules consists of one strand from the original DNA and one newly synthesized strand.
**two molecules, each with one original and one new strand.**
