Solution

The correct option is C nucleus and cytoplasm respectively
Animal cell is an example of eukaryotic cell. In eukaryotic cell, transcription occurs in nucleus and translation occurs in the cytoplasm. During transcription, mRNA is synthesized on DNA template and the newly synthesised mRNA moves from nucleus into cytoplasm. During translation, the amino acids assemble to form polypeptide chain of proteins with the help of information carried by mRNA.
