A Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct. Wobble base pair is a pairing between two nucleotides in RNA molecules that do not follow Watson-Crick base pair rules. The four main wobble base pairs are guanine-uracil (G-U), hypoxanthine-uracil (I-U), hypoxanthine-adenine (I-A) and hypoxanthine-cytosine (I-C).
