Solution

The correct option is C cDNA, mRNA
Complementary DNA is DNA synthesized from a single-stranded mRNA template in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. This process is known as reverse transcription. cDNA is often used to clone eukaryotic genes in prokaryotes. Hence it can be said that in reverse transcription cDNA is assembled on mRNA.
So, the correct option is 'cDNA, mRNA'.
