**Question:**

Which of the following processes degrades mRNA molecules after transcription if they have a sequence complementary to a small non-coding RNA?

- **A.** RNA blocking
- **B.** RNA interference
- **C.** Post-translational modification
- **D.** Alternative splicing

**Explanation:**

This question is testing knowledge about the process by which mRNA molecules are regulated and potentially degraded in the cell. Specifically, it addresses the role of small non-coding RNAs interacting with mRNA. Understanding these processes is crucial for grasping gene expression regulation.

**Correct Answer:**
- **B. RNA interference**
