Answer:

(d). to move information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a type of nucleic acid, made up of ribose sugar, nitrogen bases, and phosphate groups. In eukaryotes, translation takes place in cytoplasm.

RNA is synthesized in the nucleus by using information present in DNA by the process of transcription. Then, RNA is transferred into the ribosomes and provides information for the protein synthesis.

Hence, RNA plays role in carrying information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for synthesis of proteins.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
