The correct option is
C glycylalanine (dipeptide)
The amino acid unit having free
−NH2 groups is called N-terminal end whereas, the amino acid unit with free
−COOH group is called C-terminal end.
The structure is written with N-terminal end to the left and C-terminal end to the right.

At N-terminal or C-terminal further bond formation takes place and tri, tetra, pentapeptides are formed.
Naming of Polypeptides
1. Starts from –N–terminal residue.
Suffix -ine of amino acids is replaced by -yl for all except
amino acid of C-terminal residue.
Example: Glycine
→ Glycyl
Alanine
→ Alanyl
Lysine
→ Lysyl
Alanylglycylphenylalanine means Ala-Gly-Phe or A-G-F.
If the carboxyl acid group of glycine and amino group of alanine undergo elimination of a water molecule, the formed compound is glycylalanine (dipeptide).

Hence, (c) is correct.
