E) must first undergo replication.
Protein Synthesis
The biological process by which cells generate new proteins from amino acids based on instructions encoded in DNA.
Template
A pattern or model used as a guide for making something.
TRNAs
Short for transfer RNAs; molecules that help decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein during protein synthesis.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
DNA serves as the template for the production of mRNA through a process called transcription. This mRNA then carries the genetic information to the ribosome, where protein synthesis occurs. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
