Solution

The correct option is D mRNA
The synthesis of DNA from an RNA template via reverse transcription produces complementary DNA (cDNA). Complementary DNA (cDNA) is produced from fully transcribed mRNA found in the nucleus and therefore contains only the expressed gene of the organisms.
So, the correct option is 'mRNA'.
