Solution
The correct option is B 3D Structure The denaturation of proteins involves breaking of bonds. The denaturation is unable to break the strong covalent bonds present in the primary structure so the primary structure of the proteins are retained after the denaturation but the 3D structure has alpha helix and beta helix bonds which are easily broken up during the process of denaturation.
