Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ribosome is responsible for many functions in protein synthesis, including binding mRNA and allowing codon recognition, mediating the binding of proteins necessary for initiation, elongation, and termination, catalyzing synthesis of peptide bonds, and translocating such that multiple codons can be read. Therefore, options I, II, III, and IV are all correct.
