Solution

The correct option is A tRNA
tRNA as the name suggests, handles the duty of transferring the codon information and thus helping in translation which results in protein synthesis. It picks up specific amino acid from cytoplasm to ribosome during protein synthesis. Thus, it is also called as adapter molecule.
