Solution

The correct option is A Replication
Reproduction is the term used for the overall physiological process by which new progeny are produced in a particular species. Any other term refers to molecular processes. Replication is the copying of DNA into two daughter DNA molecules. Transcription is the term used to describe how the genetic code relevant for the synthesis of one protein (a gene) is copied from DNA to form messenger RNA. Translation is the process by which the genetic code for a specific protein (carried in messenger RNA) is used for the synthesis that protein.
