18119.The sequence of events mentioned below are symbolized by alphabets. Choose the correct answer where the alphabets are matched with the processes.

RNA —(A)—> DNA —(B)—> DNA —(C)—> mRNA —(D)—> Polypeptide

A = Replication, B = Transformation, C = Transcription, D = Translation
A = Reverse transcription, B = Translation, C = Transcription, D = Replication
A = Replication, B = Transcription, C = Translation, D = Transduction
A = Reverse transcription, B = Replication, C = Transcription, D = Translation
