The correct answer is **b) the process of creating proteins**.

Protein synthesis is the process through which cells build proteins based on the instructions encoded in DNA. It involves two main steps: transcription (where DNA is copied into messenger RNA) and translation (where the messenger RNA is used to assemble amino acids into a protein).
