The correct answer is: **b. Brings in the anticodon attached to the correct amino acid.**
tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for bringing the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon that pairs with the corresponding codon on the mRNA strand, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
