A
mRNA, snRNA, and miRNA
B
mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation, which is the synthesis of proteins from messenger RNA (mRNA) in the ribosome.
Identify the role of mRNA: it carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome, serving as the template for protein synthesis.
Recognize the role of transfer RNA (tRNA): it brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the mRNA codons through its anticodon.
Know the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA): it is a structural and catalytic component of the ribosome, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into protein chains.
Conclude that the types of RNA directly involved in translation are mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA, while other RNAs like snRNA, miRNA, lncRNA, piRNA, and snoRNA have different roles unrelated to the direct process of translation.
