Solution

The correct option is A Transcription
Transcription is the process of DNA dependent RNA synthesis. It is carried out by the RNA polymerase enzyme. DNA is used as the template and complementary nucleotides are added to form RNA molecule.
Translation is the process of protein synthesis where each triplet codon of mRNA sequence synthesis a particular amino acid and leads to the formation of a polypeptide chain.
Replication is the process of DNA dependent DNA synthesis. It is carried out by DNA polymerase enzyme that uses DNA as the template to produce DNA molecules.
Transformation refers to the direct uptake of the genetic material from the surrounding through the cell membrane. The recipient bacteria must be in a state of competence.
So, the correct option is 'Transcription'.
