Answer:
D - the production of a specific mRNA will increase as a result of the binding of the hormone receptor complex to the DNA
Explanation:
We are told that the hormone binds a receptor and then enters the cell, binding to the DNA and promoting transcription of a specific gene.
Transcription is the process whereby mRNA molecules are synthesised from a DNA sequence, which are then translated into specific process. D is correct, as the gene the hormone binds to will increase in transcription, producing a specific mRNA.
A, B and C are much more general processes, not linked to the actions of a hormone on a specific gene.
