Solution

The correct option is C Three
Eukaryotes have three RNA polymerases which are structurally distinct complexes, though share certain subunits in common, and have a specific function and specific promoter sequence. RNA polymerase I synthesize preribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA), which contains the precursor for the 18S, 5.8S, and 28S rRNAs. RNA polymerase II is synthesized mRNAs and some specialized RNAs. RNA polymerase III makes tRNAs, the 5S rRNA, and some other small specialized RNAs. Option B is correct.
