Solution
When DNA replication begins, the two DNA strands unwind from each other.
Explanation:
DNA replication begins at origins where the double helix untwists, and the hydrogen bonds between base pairs are broken, producing two single-stranded templates; those exposed strands are then used to synthesise complementary new strands (semi‑conservative replication).
