Solution

The correct option is A protein
Western blotting (also known as immunoblotting or protein blotting) is a method used for the detection of electrophoretically separated proteins. It was termed 'western blotting' because of its analogy to Southern (DNA detection) and Northern (RNA detection) blotting.
