Solution

The correct option is C Facilitate the transfer of peptidyl bonds between amino acids
rRNA in the larger ribosomal subunit acts as an enzyme and catalyses the transfer of peptidyl bonds between amino acids during the formation of the polypeptide chain. This is the reason ribosomes are also known as ribozymes.
