Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
RNA processing and transport occur in the nucleus before mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm for translation. This includes splicing, polyadenylation, and capping of the mRNA molecule. Delaying this process in the nucleus can affect the amount and quality of mRNA that is ultimately translated.
