The best answer is D.

Genetic information for synthesis of a protein is transmitted from DNA to the ribosomes, which are the site for protein synthesis. This is facilitated by messenger RNA or mRNA in short.

In the nucleus of the cell, information from DNA is copied (transcribed) onto mRNA which leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to the ribosome. The information on the attached mRNA is decoded and read ( translated) by transfer RNA (tRNA) which then brings corresponding amino acids to the ribosome to be linked together to form the protein.
