The best choice is A.

A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that specifies the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein, or controls the function of other genetic material.

Information from the gene is copied (transcribed) on mRNA in the nucleus. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. The information on the attached mRNA is decoded (translated) by tRNA which then fetches the amino acids according to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together to form the specified protein.

multigene families include two or more nearly identical genes or genes sharing nearly identical sequences. a classical example i

Identical and obviously duplicated gene sequences have gotten from one chromosome to another by chromosomal translocation.

In terms of genetics, a translocation takes place when chromosome fragments and the (often two) fragmented portions reassociate with other chromosomes. For the diagnosis of several genetic diseases and syndromes, the finding of chromosomal translocations can be crucial.

Multigene families are groups of related or identical genes that have developed by gene duplication. It is thought that a single ancestral gene was duplicated and varied to create multigene families. The multigene families that code for actins, hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, tubulins, interferons, histones, etc. are a few examples.
