The correct Answer is:
C

The enzyme reverse transcriptase is involved in the synthesis of C-DNA (complementary DNA ) from RNA by process called reverse transcription . It was discovered by Tenin and Baltimore the presence if this enzyme changed the central dogma of protein synthesis into revese DNA directly it does not act as template for protein synthesis but first synthesis mRNA which act as template for protein synthesis
