The correct answer is: 5S rRNA
The RNA polymerase I transcribe rRNAs (28S, 18S, and 5.8S), whereas the RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5srRNA, and snRNAs (small nuclear RNAs). The RNA polymerase II transcribes the precursor of mRNA, the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA).
