Answer:

A. mRNA stand, nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription is defined as the process of copying DNA. This happens so that the cell can produce the proteins necessary for basic life functions.

DNA cannot simply be taken out of the nucleus that easily. So, the DNA must be copied into a different form. That's what RNA is for, specifically mRNA.

mRNA stands for "messenger RNA", which is a copy of DNA that can be transported outside the nucleus and be read to produce proteins in ribosomes.

Transcription happens in the nucleus, where the DNA is housed in. It can't be located anywhere else anyways since DNA cannot leave the nucleus.

Therefore, our answer is A.
