Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA is known as transcription. The enzyme the catalyzes transcription is DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. It binds to the promoter site of DNA and facilitates the opening up of DNA helix by breaking H-bonds between two strands of DNA. This opening up of the DNA helix is called a transcriptional bubble.
