Solution

The correct option is D 5S rRNA
RNA polymerase enzyme is involved in transcription. In eukaryotes, there are three types of RNA polymerases:
  • RNA polymerase–I for 28S rRNA, 18S rRNA, 5.8S rRNA synthesis.
  • RNA polymerase–II for mRNA synthesis.
  • RNA polymerase–III for tRNA, 5S rRNA, snRNA synthesis.
