Break into codons: AUG | UCC | GAA | UGG.

Translate:
- AUG = methionine
- UCC = serine
- GAA = glutamic acid (Glu)
- UGG = tryptophan

So the correct sequence is methionine, serine, glutamic acid, tryptophan.
None of the given options exactly match; option 1 is closest but lists glutamine (Gln) instead of the correct glutamic acid (Glu).
