Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "EF-G"

Step-by-step explanation:

As its name implies, the elongation factor (EF-G) of E. coli is one vital protein that participates during the elongation phase of translocation. EF-G catalyzes the GTP-dependent ribosomal translocation step, which allows the ribosome to change from its pre-translocational to the post-translocational state, moving the process from the P to the E site of the ribosome.
