Answer:

The correct answer is: the option C - CTGA

Step-by-step explanation:

It stands for Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine, and Adenine which are the building blocks that make up genes and spell out the exact order of a protein’s building blocks. It can exist many different combinations in a gene, providing instructions for different proteins.
