**Use the figure of a tRNA to answer the following question:**

![tRNA Diagram](#)

The diagram shows a tRNA molecule with several labeled regions: A, B, C, D, and E. The structure resembles a cloverleaf with three loops and a linear sequence at one end labeled as CCA. Each labeled region corresponds to specific features of the tRNA molecule:

- **A**: The acceptor stem where amino acids attach.
- **B**: The D-arm.
- **C**: The anticodon loop, which pairs with mRNA codons.
- **D**: The TΨC arm.
- **E**: The CCA tail consistent in all tRNA molecules where amino acids bind.

**Question:**  
Aminoacyl tRNA adds an amino acid to letter _______ and base pairing with the codon of an mRNA occurs at letter _______.

- A and E
- B and C
- C and E
- D and A

Answer the question based on the understanding of tRNA structure and function. The correct options relate to where amino acids are attached and where anticodon-codon interaction occurs.
