A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is produced in the nucleus, before moving out into the cytoplasm to bind with proteins and form a ribosome. Transfer RNA (tRNA) is found in the cytoplasm and has a complex shape. It is responsible for carrying amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome surface, ready to make a protein as instructed by the mRNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Concept 21 RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein. DNA is found mostly in the cell nucleus, but another type of nucleic acid, RNA, is common in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -RNA is found everywhere in the cell-nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, cytoplasm, etc. RNAs are of three different types-mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Here, both the reason and assertion are false, DNA occurs in nucleus of the cell while RNA is found mainly in cytoplasm of the cell.
