Rifampin targets which of following pathway ?

1. Mitosis
2. Replication
3. Translation
4. Transcription
5. mRNA splicing
 
Rifampin is inhibting the transcription of mRNA and the subsequent translation to protein, so I guess, if you have to chose only one answer, #4 is the correct one

Hi!

My answer is "transcription' for Rifampin inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in bacterial cell walls and preventing the transcription of mRNA.
