Solution

The correct option is D Template strand
The template DNA strand serve in RNA synthesis during transcription is called anticoding or antisense strand while the other strand is called coding or sense strand as its base sequence is same as that of newly synthesized mRNA.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
