Correct answer - Codons.

Why? - In an mRNA, the instructions for building a polypeptide are RNA nucleotides (As, Us, Cs, and Gs) read in groups of three. These groups of three are called codons. There are 61 codons for amino acids, and each of them is "read" to specify a certain amino acid out of the 20 commonly found in proteins.
