Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so look at the diagram. Start from the middle and work your way out.

AUG: I find A in the middle (the first four) and then go to the part of the diagram that has U right under the last letter you had, so A. And do the same for U, and you should get methionine.

Repeat this process for the other two.
