Solution

The correct option is A GAGCGCACA
The process of transcription is the formation of the mRNA from the DNA with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase. The genetic code on the DNA is transferred to the mRNA. The upper coding segment is from 5'-3'. The mRNA is similar to the 5'-3' DNA segment of DNA, in which T is replaced by U. So, the sequence of the mRNA is GAGCGCACA.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
