Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
During transcription, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule in the 5' to 3' direction. The nucleotide sequence AAACAACTT in the DNA template strand would pair with the complementary sequence UUUGUUGAA in the RNA molecule. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
