The answer is c. the manufacture of a polypeptide.

A gene is a sequence of DNA that holds the code for the production of proteins. Through the process of transcription, the gene is transcribed into a sequence of mRNA (messenger RNA). Through the process of translation, mRNA sequence is translated into the sequence of amino acids, which is actually called a polypeptide.
