Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

One of the primary functions of DNA is replication – making copies of itself. This is essential for passing genetic information to daughter cells during cell division. Carrying information out of the nucleus is the job of mRNA. Joining amino acids is done by ribosomes.
