The diagram shows the process of RNA synthesis from DNA, which is called transcription. The DNA molecule is first unwound and a single strand is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA molecule. This step is catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase. The RNA molecule is then processed by various enzymes to remove introns and add a 5' cap and a poly A tail before being exported from the nucleus for translation. Therefore, the best choice for the process illustrated in the diagram is transcription.
