Solution

The correct option is C UAG/UAA
The three chain-termination codons (in messenger RNA) are UAA, UAG, and UGA. They are also called termination codons, stop codons, or nonsense codons.
These codons signal the end of the polypeptide chain during translation.

So the correct answer is option C.
