Solution

The correct option is A 5'–3' direction
The process of synthesis of amino acids sequence (polypeptides) from a sequence of messenger RNA (mRNA) is termed as translation. During this process mRNAs are read in the 5' to 3' direction while polypeptide chains are synthesized from the amino to the carboxy terminus.
