Solution

The correct option is C Peptide bonds
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Proteins are formed by joining together of amino acids through peptide bonds. The peptide bonds are produced through condensation reactions in which the carboxylic group of one amino acid loses hydroxyl ion and alcoholic group of another amino acid loses proton and both combine to form water molecule. Basic primary structure of protein refers to the linear chain of amino acids.
So, the correct answer is 'Peptide bonds'
