Solution

The correct option is C post-transcriptional level
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules which are produced after transcription. So, RNA interference (RNAi) is a post-transcriptional
mechanism for silencing gene expression.
