Solution

The correct option is B Reverse transcriptase
The central dogma of biology states that "the coded genetic information hard-wired into DNA is transcribed into individual transportable cassettes, composed of messenger RNA (mRNA); each mRNA cassette contains the program for synthesis of a particular protein (or small number of proteins)." However, with the discovery of reverse transcriptase, it has been found that certain information from RNA is transferred to DNA.
