Solution

The correct option is C UAC
Transfer RNA molecules carry specific amino acid from the amino acid pool to the ribosomes, for protein synthesis. tRNAs have an anticodon loop that has bases complementary to the codon in mRNA. They also have an amino acid acceptor end where the corresponding amino acid binds.
Methionine is an aminoacid for which the codon on mRNA is AUG. The complementary sequence in the anticodon loop of tRNA will be UAC.
