Answer:

D. An mRNA template is used to create an amino acid chain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription and translation are two important process in living organisms.

Transcription is the process in which a gene's DNA sequence is transcribed or copied to make an RNA molecule.

Whereas translation is the process in which in which mRNA (messenger RNA) carry information for the synthesis of protein or amino acid chain.

Transcription ends at synthesis of RNA while translation uses that mRNA to produce amino acid chain or protein, so amino acid chain is not synthesized in transcription .

Hence, the correct option is D.
