Answer:

Strand A

Step-by-step explanation:

Why is it strand A when it looks exactly like strand B? During transcription, a strand of RNA is made that compliments the DNA. Meaning they don't exactly match but they're the partner nucleic acid. These are the instructions that tell what protein to make.
