Solution

The correct option is B Silencing of specific mRNA due to complementary RNA
RNA interference ( RNAi) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to the complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA. The source of this complementary RNA could be from an infection by viruses having RNA genomes that replicate via an RNA intermediate.
So, the correct option is 'Option B' .
