Answer:

B. Codon

Explanation:

Codon refers to nucleotide triplets of mRNA that serve to specify the amino acid sequence of proteins. There are total 64 genetic code that specify 20 standard amino acids found in proteins. All codon together make genetic code. For example: AUG is codon that specify amino acid "methionine". AUG codon also serve as initiation codon during initiation of protein synthesis.
