Select the correct option

Options

A.
Direction of RNA synthesis       Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
                    5′ - 3′                                 3′ - 5′
B.
Direction of RNA synthesis       Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
                    3′ - 5′                                 5′ - 3′
C.
Direction of RNA synthesis       Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
                    5′ - 3′                                 5′ - 3′
D.
Direction of RNA synthesis       Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
                    3′ - 5′                                 3′ - 5′

Solution

RNA Polymers catalyse polymerisation only in onedirection, that is 5′ → 3′ and the strand that has the polarity 3′ → 5′ act as a template.
