Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

At the time of DNA replication the nitrogenous bases used is thymine because DNA is the end product of replication.

Whereas, in case of translation the end product is mRNA in which the nitrogenous base used is uracil.

Both of the process combinely helps in cell division and formation of new cells.The proliferation of cell is very crucial and important step inside the cell.
