Solution

The correct option is B Anticodon
Each mRNA is made up of thousands of triplet sequences called codons. As per the codons on mRNA, tRNA provides the amino acids to the ribosome (site of protein synthesis). The nucleotides of tRNA are complimentary to the three nitrogenous bases of the codon on the mRNA, hence they are called anticodons.
