The correct answer is A) It is the process by which mRNA is read and converted into a specific sequence of amino acids.
Translation is when a ribosome reads the mRNA and builds the chain of amino acids it codes for.
B is transcription (DNA → mRNA), the step before. C is reverse transcription, which is what retroviruses do.
