Answer:

A. RNA

Step-by-step explanation:

Genes go from DNA to (m)RNA via transcription. Then, RNA is converted to protein via translation. For eg, the insulin hormone is a peptide hormine (peptide is basically protein) which comes from insulin mRNA which was the result of transcription of insulin gene in beta islet cells of pancreas.
