Solution

The correct option is C Clover leaf
The tRNA forms a secondary structure in the form of a cloverleaf. It is made up of :
a) Amino acid arm- It has seven base pairs stem formed by base pairing between 5′ and 3′ ends of tRNA. It binds to amino acidarm during protein synthesis.
b) D-arm- It contains a modified base dihydrouracil.
c) Anticodon arm- It has anticodon that are complementary to the codon of mRNA.
d) T-arm or TψC arm- It has a modified base pseudouridine.
Thus the correct answer is option C.
