Solution

The correct option is A Collagen
The most abundant protein in our body is collagen. Around 25% to 35% of the protein in our body is collagen. It is the most common protein in other mammals too. Collagen forms connective tissue. It is found primarily in fibrous tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and skin. Collagen is a component of muscle, cartilage, bone, blood vessels, the cornea of the eye, intervertebral discs and the intestinal tract.
So, the correct answer is 'Collagen'.
