b) results in the destruction of the target mRNA

Explanation:

RNA inerference -

It is the process, when the molecules of RNA, inhibits the gene expression or the translation process, via neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules.

During the process of RNA inerference, the target mRNA is destroyed.

hence, from the given options the correct statement for RNA inerference is (b).
