Information Flow

The transfer or movement of information within a system or among various systems.

Protein Synthesis

The process by which cells build proteins based on the instructions encoded in DNA, consisting of transcription and translation stages.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid, a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The flow of information in protein synthesis is from DNA to RNA through transcription and then from RNA to protein through translation. This is the central dogma of molecular biology. Therefore, the correct choice is option B, which describes the flow of information as DNA → RNA → protein.
