The correct answer is: **d It carries codes for proteins from DNA into the cytoplasm to be used in protein synthesis.**
mRNA is called "messenger" RNA because it serves as a messenger that transmits genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where proteins are synthesized.
