Answer: The correct answer is C) RNA.

DNA is the substance that transcribes genetic code into RNA trough transcription.

RNA ( ribonucleic acid) is converted into proteins through a process called translation. mRNA ( messenger RNA) carries codons ( sequence of three nucleotides that codes for amino acid). The process of translation occurs at the site called ribosomes.

Thus, RNA is a substance that translates the genetic code into proteins.
