The statement that best describes the overall process of transcription is:

"It is when DNA makes mRNA that serves as a messenger by carrying instructions for making a protein."

Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which then carries that information to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.
