During translation, which of the following is involved in translation?
A) mRNA
B) tRNA
C) rRNA
D) ribosome
E) All of the answer choices are involved in translation.
Translation
Translation is a biological process by which messenger RNA is decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide, that will fold into an active protein.
mRNA
Messenger ribonucleic acid, a type of RNA that conveys genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.
Ribosome
A ribosome is a cellular organelle that synthesizes proteins by translating messenger RNA into amino acid sequences.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
mRNA provides the template for the sequence of amino acids to be formed in the protein, tRNA brings the specific amino acid to the ribosome, rRNA is a component of the ribosome and helps catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids, and the ribosome coordinates the binding of mRNA and tRNA to synthesize the protein. Therefore, all of the answer choices are involved in translation.
