The answer is C: mRNA

mRNA codes for proteins

mRNA is messenger RNA, an RNA copy of the gene, that is read by the ribosome to build the protein.

rRNA is ribosomal RNA and is part of the ribosome that will build the protein

tRNA is transfer RNA and helps bring the proper amino acid to the ribosome, which builds the protein.
