Solution

The correct option is C Tyrosine
Amines are the compounds that contain an amine group. They are formed as a result of deamination, a process in which amino group is removed from the amino acid. Some hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine are amines. They are derived from amino acid tyrosine.
So, the correct answer is 'Tyrosine'.
