Solution

The correct option is D wobbling
The Wobble Hypothesis explains why multiple codons can code for a single amino acid. One tRNA molecule can recognise and bind to more than one codon, due to the less-precise base pairs that can arise between the 3rd base of the codon and the base at the 1st position on the anticodon.
