The more well known RNA types have already been listed in previous responses namely:
1. pre-messengerRNA that gets spliced into mRNA (aka hnRNA).
2. rRNA, the RNA component of ribosomes
3. tRNA, necessary for translation
More advanced courses will cover:
4. snRNA (small nuclear RNAs) various functions such as in the splicesome, rRNA maturation, minor splicesome.
5. miRNA, microRNAs function in regulating development and gene expression.
6. piRNA, PIWI Interacting RNAs necessary for spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis.
7. rasiRNA, repeat associated small interfering RNAs
8. gRNA, guide RNAs in trypanasomes
9. telomerase RNA
10. 7SL, the RNA component of the signal recognition particle
many other small non-coding RNAs (such as 7SK)
Of course you’ll have to look up all of these so you can properly cite then in your homework.

Cells Produce Several Types of RNA by Transcription:
(1.mRNA,2.snRNA,3.rRNA,4.tRNA)
1.mRNA : The majority of genes carried in a cell's DNA specify the amino acid sequence of proteins; the RNA molecules that are copied from these genes (which ultimately direct the synthesis of proteins) are called messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules.
The final product of a minority of genes, however, is the RNA itself.These RNAs, like proteins, serve as enzymatic and structural components for a wide variety of processes in the cell.such as :
2.snRNA : some small nuclear RNA (snRNA) molecules direct the splicing of pre-mRNA to form mRNA,
3.rRNA : that ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules form the core of ribosomes,
4.tRNA : and that transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules form the adaptors that select amino acids and hold them in place on a ribosome for incorporation into protein

Worng answers im afraid.
There are only 4 types of transcripts produced from transcription. These are:
tRNA - transfers amino acids to ribosomes to make proteins, sRNA - small RNA's with various roles in the cell
rRNA - ribosomal RNA's which make the ribosome and
hnRNA - the precursor to mRNA. mRNA is only produced as the hn RNA leaves the nucleas to become translated. hnRNA has a polyadenine tail and a cap put on as part of its post transcriptional modification.

mRNA and tRNA
Check my sources for articles on those two types.
