Solution

The correct option is C Amino group and carboxyl group
A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water $H_{2} 0$ . This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.
