Solution

The correct option is D It is the largest of the RNAs
tRNA is the smallest of the 3 types of RNA, possessing around 75-95 nucleotides.
The main function is a translation of mRNA into proteins by linking the base pairs of mRNA and amino acid sequence on a polypeptide. tRNAs also act as adapters in the translation of the genetic sequence of mRNA into proteins.
The physique of the tRNA molecule resembles that of a clover leaf with several extended loops.
So the above information is matching for the options A, B & C.

So the answer is 'It is the largest of the RNAs'.
