Which set correctly lists the three major types of RNA found in cells and their primary roles in gene expression?

• A. DNA, mRNA, and tRNA are the three major RNA types and they all store genetic information long-term
• B. rRNA carries codons, mRNA forms the ribosome, and tRNA catalyzes peptide bond formation
• C. mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, rRNA forms the core of the ribosome, and tRNA delivers amino acids during translation
• D. snRNA, siRNA, and miRNA are the three major RNA types and they directly synthesize proteins at ribosomes

Answer: (C)
