An $RNA$ molecule is synthesized on a $DNA$ template

(B) Transcription is the process of copying genetic information from one strand of the $DNA$ into $RNA$. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme $DNA$-dependent $RNA$ polymerase. It involves the synthesis of an $RNA$ molecule using a $DNA$ strand as a template. Therefore,option $B$ is the correct answer.
