    The correct answer is C.

    The sequence of three bases which codes for a specified amino acid.

    Codon is termed as sequence of three RNA nucleotides which corresponds with specific amino acid which stops signaling during protein synthesis.

    It is represented as RNA codon reason being that, when proteins are made in cell by ribosomes. mRNA directs protein synthesis and it is determined by sequence of genomic DNA.
