The correct answer is C) RNA polymerase makes a molecule of RNA from an RNA template.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase works when the transcription is in process. Transcription is the making of an RNA strand from a DNA strand that was separated but will come into a helicoidal shape again. Therefore, the RNA polymerase makes a molecule of RNA from a DNA template. Also, the template has Thymine instead of Uracil (only found in RNA) so it's DNA.
