Step 1: Understand the process.
Transcription is the process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. This is the first step in protein synthesis.
Step 2: Review the options.
- Translation refers to the process by which mRNA is translated into a protein at the ribosome, not the synthesis of RNA itself.
- Transcription is the correct answer as it directly involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
- Replication refers to the process of copying DNA, not RNA synthesis.
- Transduction is a process of gene transfer in bacteria, unrelated to RNA formation.
Step 3: Conclude.
Transcription is the process in which RNA is formed from DNA, making option (B) the correct answer.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Transcription}}
\]
