Out of the given options, the summary which charactly describe what exactly occurs during transcription is given in the first option.

❍ Tamplate Strand :

• The Template Strand is the strand of DNA which takes part in the process of transcription.

• The polarity is 3' -> 5'

• The nucleotide sequence is complementary to the one present in mRNA.

❍ Coding Strand :

• The Coding Strand is the strand of DNA which does not take part in the process of transcription.
