Solution

The correct option is C
Selection of amino acids

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNA has anticodon sequence complementary to the codons in mRNA. tRNA carries the amino acid from the cytoplasm and transfers it to the polypeptide chain being assembled during translation.
