tRNA is responsible for carrying a specific amino acid into place. The answer is letter C.

Molecules of tRNA (transfer RNA) are responsible for matching amino acids with the appropriate codons in mRNA.
During the process of translation, these tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome and join with their complementary codons.
