The correct option is D Collagen
Fibrous proteins, also called scleroproteins, are long filamentous protein molecules. Fibrous proteins are only found in animals.

Collagen gives strength to bones, teeth, cartilage, tendon and the fibrous matrices of skin, cornea, intervertebral discs and blood vessels.
