Answer:

The correct answer is RNA polymerase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of making RNA from DNA is called transcription and the most important and primary enzyme that helps in converting DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.

RNA polymerase uses only a single strand of DNA which is called template strand for the formation of mRNA. RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA strand in 5' to 3' direction because it adds the new nucleotide at the 3' end of the building strand.

After formation of mRNA translation process occurs in which the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA is expressed in the form of protein.
