Option B : Protein.


DNA\overset{Transcription}{\rightarrow}mRNA\overset{Translation}{\rightarrow} Protein

The genetic information is stored in DNA which is carried by mRNA (messenger RNA). This genetic information is in the form of three-base code, here each code is used to represent an amino acid. The sequence of amino acid form proteins thus, the correct option is protein.
