Solution

The correct option is C CGAAUCCGUU
mRNA strand is complementary to one of the DNA strands i.e., template strand. In RNA, uracil is present instead of thymine which is complementary to adenine. Cytosine and guanine are also complementary to each other. Hence, the sequence of bases in transcript would be CGAAUCCGUIJ.
