The correct answer is: There is now enough evidence that essential process like metabolism, translation and splicing evolved around DNA
RNA was first genetic material. There is now enough evidence that essential process like metabolism, translation and splicing evolved around RNA. DNA being structurally more stable cannot act as a catalyst and is used for storage of genetic information. RNA is more reactive and can splice itself.
