Solution:

$3' TACATGGGTCCG5'$ mRNA $5 'AUG UAC CCA GGC 3'$ tRNA image
$5 'AUG UAC CCAGG5 3'$
$mRNA\ce{->[][\text{Direction of translation}]}$
Option $(d)$ is correct even though the base pairs are not complementary pairing can happen by wobble pairing because the codon (or amino acid) differs only by one base.
