The term most closely associated with a tRNA molecule is the anticodon, which is a sequence of three nucleotides that pairs with a corresponding codon on mRNA during protein synthesis. Each tRNA has a specific anticodon that ensures the correct amino acid is added to the polypeptide chain. Thus, the correct answer is option b. anticodon.
