Solution

The correct option is C 3
Compound A is nothing but serine. We know that serine is an acidic amino acid. It has an OH group on the side chain. Since it is an amino acid, the functional groups COOH and NH2 are already present in it. Hence, there are a total of 3 functional groups present: OH,COOH,NH2.
