If the genetic code is read in groups of four non-overlapping nucleotides, then the given nucleotide sequence would be grouped as follows: 
CCC UGA AUG AUG AAC AAG GAA UUU GAG GAG UAA 
C - C - C - UGA - AUG - AUG - AAC - AAG - GAA - UUU - GAG - GAG - UAA

The codons would then be translated into the corresponding amino acids using a genetic code table, resulting in the amino acid sequence: 
Proline - Stop - Methionine - Methionine - Asparagine - Lysine - Glutamic acid - Phenylalanine - Glutamic acid - Stop

This sequence can be abbreviated as P-M-M-N-K-E-F-E, which corresponds to choice C: B-D-E.
