<reasoning>

Define transcription

Using the Central Dogma knowledge point, genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein. Transcription is the first step of this gene expression process.

Analyze the options

• Option 1 describes the transport of mRNA, not the synthesis process itself.
• Option 2 and Option 4 describe translation, which is the synthesis of proteins from an mRNA template at the ribosome.
• Option 3 correctly identifies transcription as the synthesis of an RNA molecule (specifically mRNA) from a DNA template.
