Desperate !! Please answer !!

The image shows the translation of genetic material. Which of the following
describes how step 3 of the process would be affected if there was a point
mutation in step 1?

A. Ribosomes would read the error on the mRNA strand, which would
likely cause tRNA to transport the wrong amino acid for the
polypeptide

B. No effect would take place in step 3 because point mutations are
spliced during step 2 of the process.

C. The mRNA strand would be a double strand so the ribosome could
not attach to decode the polypeptide's sequence,

D. TRNA would not be able to attach to the mRNA strand to read the
genetic code for the polypeptide
