Answer: Option C) AGU

Step-by-step explanation:

AGU and AGC are the two codons that code for the amino acid, Serine. These codons are made of three nucleotides, thus they have a triplet nature.

AGU that code for serine is made of Adenine, Guanine and Uracil joined together, carried on the messenger RNA to be added to the growing polypeptide chain.
