Solution

The correct option is A
Nucleus

The process of transcription takes place inside the nucleus. During the process of transcription, the DNA strand unwinds and with the help of many enzymes it is transcribed into a mRNA. This mRNA carries information which is required to form a protein. The mRNA, together with the ribosome and tRNA synthesises a protein.
