Option "d" is correct.

Proteins are known as the most complex structural molecules. Proteins constituents consist of almost 20 different types of amino acids. Each Protein has a unique structure and sequence of amino acids. This sequence of amino acids forms a long chain, and each amino acid is connected with other by a covalent bond known as peptide bond.
