Correct answer is A .
The protein might be unable to function if an error during transcription occurs .
The mRNA is formed via a process called transcription. If error occurred during the process , mRNA formed would be a transient one and eventually get degraded . Also during the translation process , the disruption would occur due to incorrect coding sequence and hence the functional protein will not be formed . The resulting protein will be degraded . Such protein are termed as erroneous proteins.
