The correct answer is: both sense and antisense RNA
Antisense RNA can be produced by inverting a cDNA copy of an mRNA with respect to the promoter in an expression vector. This yields a full length complementary copy of the mRNA sequence. Antisense RNA molecule are thought to interact with mRNA molecule by base pairing to form double stranded RNA.
