Step 1. Replication (a) copies DNA into DNA, not RNA, so it is ruled out.
Step 2. Duplication (c) is not a defined molecular-biology term for any of DNA-to-RNA or DNA-to-DNA copying used in this chapter.
Step 3. Translation (d) converts an mRNA sequence into a protein, not DNA into mRNA.
Step 4. Transcription is specifically defined as the process of copying genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA, carried out by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
✓Final answer
A mRNA molecule is produced by (b) Transcription.
