Solution
The correct option is
A
DNA dependent RNA polymerase
Process of RNA synthesis using DNA as the template is called transcription.
RNA polymerase catalyzes the synthesis of RNA by using a DNA strand as a template that is why we call it DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
So, the correct answer is option A.
