B transcribe the genetic code
C transport specific amino acids to specific site on the mRNA
Correct Answer
D synthesize amino acid
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules act as adaptors during translation. Each tRNA is specific to one amino acid, which it carries. It has an anticodon that base-pairs with a complementary codon on the mRNA, ensuring the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.

Hint

What does the 't' in tRNA stand for, and what does it transfer?
