Answer:

The correct answer is option B. ovalbumin.

Explanation:

Ovalbumin is the protein that makes approx 55% of the egg white protein. It is a protein that shows homology to the serpin superfamily however it does not inhibit the process of serine protease.

The ovalbumin or OVA is not a structural protein but a storage protein that helps to provide nutrition to the embryo during embryonic development.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. ovalbumin
