Solution

The correct option is A translation
mRNA contains triplet codons which codes for amino acids and are read by ribosome. tRNA adds appropriate amino acids to the amino acids chain. Once ribosome comes across the stop codon, it leaves the mRNA and the protein which is chain of amino acids is released. This process is called translation.
