Solution

The correct option is B Translation
Protein synthesis is a two step process. In the first step, a molecule of mRNA is synthesized on DNA template through the process of transcription. In the second stage, the genetic message is translated into a linear chain of amino acids through the process of translation. The mRNA carries genetic message from nucleus to cytoplasm for translation, hence, it is called messenger RNA or mRNA.
In translation other forms of RNA like tRNA and rRNA also participate. The rRNA are a component of ribosomes and tRNA bring the amino acids for binding as per the complementary codon-anticodon pairing or the genetic message present in the mRNA.
