Solution

The correct option is C Fibrous proteins are converted into globular proteins
Answer:- (C) Fibrous proteins re converted into globular proteins
Due to denaturation, globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. Thus globular proteins are converted into fibrous proteins.
Hence, (C) is wrong.
