Solution

The correct option is A Transcription
DNA-dependent-RNA synthesis is called the transcription. The enzyme RNA Polymerase is required for the formation of RNA from the DNA. It occurs in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cells and in the cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cells.
A. Transcription occurs through the DNA-dependent-RNA Polymerase enzyme.
B. Translation is the process of formation of the polypeptide chain from the RNA with the help of ribosomes and tRNA.
C. Reverse transcription is the RNA-Dependent-DNA synthesis by the activity of RNA transcriptase.
D. Replication is DNA-Dependent-DNA synthesis by the activity of DNA polymerase.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Transcription'
