Solution

The correct option is A Glutamine
The correct option is B.
Reductive amination is a type of amination reaction in which conversion of the carbonyl group to amine takes place via imine intermediate formation. So clearly out of the four compounds given only Glutamine is having amine group as its functional group others are not having amine group. So clearly, only glutamine can only be the product of reductive amination out of four.
So the correct answer is Glutamine.
