Solution

The correct option is C RNA molecule
Transcription is the process in which the genetic code which is present on the DNA is encoded in the mRNA molecule. The mRNA molecule is synthesized when there is need of a particular protein. The information present in the certain region of DNA called as a gene is transferred to single-stranded RNA molecule. The thymine in DNA is replaced by uracil in the RNA. RNA polymerase is the enzyme which helps in reading the template strand and preparing the mRNA molecule.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
