Solution

The correct option is A Tertiary structure
The hemoglobin molecule is made up of four polypeptide chains: two alpha chains < >of 141 amino acid residues each and two beta chains < > of 146 amino acid residues each. The alpha and beta chains have different sequences of amino acids, but fold up to form similar three-dimensional structures.
So, the correct option is 'Tertiary structure'.
