Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Anticodon is the triplet found on tRNA which is complimentary to mRNA and the mRNA is complimentary to the template DNA strand used in transcription. Thus the sequence of tRNA will be same as the template DNA only interchanging T and U.

So, tRNA anti-codon - GUA will have DNA triplet as GTA
