Detailed Solution

RNA polymerase only catalyses the elongation process of transcription. The initiation of transcription is done by sigma (σ) unit. The termination of the transcription is acheived by rho (ρ) factor. These two structures are not a part of RNA polymerase. Thus, RNA polymerase can perform the function of elongation only.
