Solution
The correct option is C Dissociation of Phosphoanhydride bond In a nucleotide, two high-energy bonds are present known as phosphoanhydride bonds. When a nucleotide is incorporated into an RNA chain the two phosphoanhydride bonds present in the incoming nucleotide are broken down and the energy released is used for transcription elongation.
