Answer:
The correct option is A) carrying genetic information
Explanation:
The RNA world hypothesis was brought forward in the 1960s. According to this hypothesis, scientists thought that RNA was the initial material for carrying and storing genetic information. The hypothesis stated that the DNA might have later evolved from the RNA as the RNA was an unstable molecule itself. They supported their hypothesis with claims such as RNA was the primary living substance due to its ability to function both as an enzyme and gene. Also, the ability of RNA for self-replication depicted that it might be carrying the first genetic material.
