(B) The synthesis of $cDNA$ (complementary $DNA$) from an $mRNA$ template is a process known as reverse transcription. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme $Reverse \text{ } transcriptase$. $Reverse \text{ } transcriptase$ uses the $mRNA$ strand as a template to synthesize a complementary $DNA$ strand, which is then used to create a double-stranded $cDNA$ molecule.
