Solution

The correct option is A Anticodon
The complementary bases on the codon and anticodon are held together by hydrogen bonds. Codon is present on the mRNA and anticodon is present on the tRNA. Codon on mRNA forms hydrogen bonds with anticodon site of a tRNA. The ribosome allows the binding of tRNA to the mRNA carrying a specific amino acid.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Anticodon.'
