    The correct option is 900.

    Explanation:

    A codons can be described as a sequence of amino acids which codes for a particular protein. Each protein is made according to the specific kind of codon. The genetic code determines the codons. The codons usually are made in the form of triplets i. e they are made up of a sequence containing three pairs of nucleotides.

    Hence, based on the genetic code, the minimum number of nucleotides for a making a 300 amino acid long protein would be 900.
