Solution

The correct option is C

Inhibiting activity of a gene through production of sense and antisense.


RNA interference (RNAi) is a technique by which a specific mRNA is silenced by binding it to a complementary double stranded RNA. This binding prevents translation of the mRNA. Hence, it gets silenced. mRNA is complementary to the DNA antisense strand. sense and antisense binding is used to prevent translation.
