The answer is C. The DNA strand is used as a template for which a complementary RNA strand can be produced. Transcription is a molecular process in which RNA is produced using DNA as a template. Namely, one strand of DNA is used as a template for which a complementary RNA strand is produced. This is the first step in gene expression.
