Solution
The correct option is D Anticodon The Anticodon of a transfer RNA is a sequence of three bases that are complementary to a codon in the messenger RNA. During translation, the bases of the anticodon form complementary base pairs with the bases of the codon by farming the appropriate hydrogen bonds.
