As we have already studied in Process of Translation -

 Like transcription, translation has three stages: initiation, elongation and termination. 
During Initiation:

  • Initiation of translation in prokaryotes involves the assembly of the components of the translation system which are: 
    • the two ribosomal subunits (small and large), 
    • the mRNA to be translated, the first (formyl) aminoacyl tRNA (the tRNA charged with the first amino acid), 
    • GTP (as a source of energy), 
    • three initiation factors (IF 1, IF 2 and IF 3) which help the assembly of the initiation complex.
  • Hence, the correct option is (a)
