Removal of RNA polymerase III from nucleoplasm will affect the synthesis of
A rRNA
B tRNA
C hnRNA
D mRNA

Detailed Solution

In eukaryotes there are three RNA polymerases.
RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNAs (28S, 18S and 5.8S); RNA polymerase II transcribes hnRNA, the precursor of mRNA.
RNA polymerase III transcribes tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNAs, so its removal affects tRNA synthesis.
