The correct option is C

In a strongly alkaline solution of an amino acid all of its - COOH groups are converted into COO. Thus a strongly alkaline solution of a monoaminodicarboxylic acid will have one NH2 and two COOgroups, all of which are basic in nature. Further, remember that a NH2 is more basic than a COO group
