Correct Option: A
Synthesis of RNA exhibits several features that are synonymous with DNA replication. RNA synthesis requires accurate and efficient initiation, elongation proceeds in the 5’→3’ direction (i.e. the polymerase moves along the template strand of DNA in the 3’→5’ direction), and RNA synthesis requires distinct and accurate termination. Transcription exhibits several features that are distinct from replication.
