The flow of genetic information starts with DNA replication, and then transcription occurs, where mRNA is synthesized from DNA. The mRNA molecule carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is translated into a sequence of amino acids to form proteins. Therefore, the correct order should be DNA -> mRNA -> protein. Choice C is the only option that presents this correct order.
