Because in option D, they code different amino acids.

Why not D?

AUG is the only code for methionine and degeneracy means that an amino acid has more than one code.

Why is B not an answer?

Degeneracy means the first two Nucleotides which are present t-RNA anti-codon that's strictly follow the base pairing rules but third Nucleotide is not follow the base pairing rules. Then changes occurs in only one Amino acid of the protein.
