Solution

The correct option is D F. H. C. Crick
Crick (1966) proposed the wobble hypothesis, in order to solve apparent dilemma. According to this hypothesis, only the first two bases of the codon have a precise pairing with the bases of the anticodon of mRNA, while the pairing between the third bases of codon and anticodon may wobble.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
