The correct option is B Capping
Introduction to hnRNA

In eukaryotes, the primary RNA transcript is known as heterogeneous RNA or hnRNA.

It undergoes chemical modifications in the nucleus before being transported out into the cytoplasm for translation.

Capping

Addition of methyl guanosine triphosphate to the 5’ end of the hnRNA is known as capping.
