Answer 1

d. DNA is used as a template to make a complementary strand of RNA - Transcription

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is describing the process of TRANSCRIPTION, which is the first process involved in gene expression or protein synthesis. Transcription is the process by which a DNA template is used to synthesize a mRNA strand.

The process of transcription, which occurs in the NUCLEUS of an eukaryotic cell involves making a complementary strand of RNA (messenger RNA) from a DNA template. For example, a nucleotide A (adenine) in the mRNA will pair with a nucleotide U (uracil) on the mRNA.
