Correct D). An mRNA template is used to create an amino acid chain.

The synthesis of protein occurs by the process known as translation. After the transcription of DNA into a messenger RNA, the mRNA must be translated in order to make protein. In translation,  the information contained in the mRNA is read by the three letter code called a codon.

In the whole process of translation, the messenger RNA is read by the tRNA to give a specific amino acid chain or the polypeptide. This polypeptide folds to form active protein and carry out a specific function in the cell.
