Solution

The correct option is C nitrogen
Amides are molecules that contain nitrogen atoms connected to the carbon atom of a carbonyl group. It is through this reaction that amino acids (molecules containing both amine and carboxylic acid substituents) link together in a polymer to form proteins.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Nitrogen.'
