The correct option is C RNA

  • They are composed of ribonucleic acids and proteins.
  • It is made up of two subunits-
  1. Large subunits- join amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
  2. Small subunits- reads RNA.
  • Each subunit is made up of one or more of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins.
