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.
So, the correct option is 'Anticodon'.
