I think is D)... sorry if you get it wrong but is the one that make more sense

Ans.

Codons are three nucleotide sequences present on DNA or RNA that codes for the amino acids or provide stop signal at the time of protein synthesis. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid. The amino acid proline (pro) is coded by CCG, CCT, CCA, and CCC; aspartate (asp) is coded by GAT and GAC; glycine is coded by GGA, GGG, GGT, and GGC; and lysine is coded by AAA and AAG.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option D). CCA-GAC-GGC-AAA.'
