Solution

The correct option is C Translation of mRNA
A nematode Meloidogyne incognita infect the roots of tobacco plants and causes a great reduction is a yield. RNAi takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that builds to and prevents translation of the mRNA.
So the correct answer is option C.
