The correct answer is C) CCAUGG.

RNA is a nucleic acid composed of un-branched chains of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a ribose sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous bases adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C) and uracil (U). In RNA, thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U) base. Thus, the correct genetic code in a strand of RNA will be CCAUGG. The other three genetic codes given in the options contain thymine (T).
