Answer:

The correct answer is C anticodons

Step-by-step explanation:

tRNA or Transfer RNA helps in the transfer of genetic information from DNA to protein by Transcription and translation.

tRNA plays a significant role during translation .tRNA contains anticodons in its anticodon arms that contain 3 bases which binds with the 3 bases of the mRNA(in a complementary manner) also called codons present in the mRNA or messenger RNA.

The codon anticodon interaction helps to bring the amino acid specific for that codon present in mRNA in the translation site.
