Answer

Correct option: A.
$ - \mathop {\mathop N\limits^| }\limits^H - \mathop C\limits_|^| - \mathop {\mathop C\limits_{||} }\limits_O - \mathop {\mathop N\limits^| }\limits^H - \mathop C\limits_|^| - \mathop {\mathop C\limits_{||} }\limits_O - \mathop {\mathop N\limits^| }\limits^H - \mathop C\limits_|^| - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - $
a
(a) In peptide linkage i.e., $-CONH -$ group, the carboxyl group of one amino acid molecules forms an amide by combination with the amino group of the next amino acid molecule with the liberation of water molecule.
