Solution

The correct option is D Transcription takes place in the nucleus of the cell.
Transcription is the process in which mRNA is synthesised from DNA. This takes place inside the nucleus of a cell. The sequence in the mRNA is complementary to the template strand of DNA used for its synthesis. Instead of thymine there is uracil in the RNA.
