The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the one-letter codes.
Each amino acid has a specific one-letter code. Here is the correct mapping:
Step 2: Correct matching of amino acids with their codes.
- Lysine (A): The one-letter code for Lysine is K.
- Tryptophan (B): The one-letter code for Tryptophan is W.
- Tyrosine (C): The one-letter code for Tyrosine is Y.
- Glutamine (D): The one-letter code for Glutamine is Q.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct matching is: (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{The correct answer is (2) (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).}} \]
