C Correct answer
Explanation

Translation is the process of protein synthesis where mRNA is decoded by ribosomes to produce a polypeptide chain. This process requires mRNA (as the template), tRNA (as the adapter molecule bringing amino acids), and amino acids (as building blocks). DNA is involved in transcription (making mRNA) but not directly in translation, which occurs in the cytoplasm (or prokaryotic cytoplasm).
