Solution

The correct option is B Peptide bonds
The primary structure of protein which is a linear structure, is formed by the peptide bonds between the aminoacids. Thus the primary structure of protein is due to the presence of peptide bonds.

The secondary structure of protein is formed by the hydrogen bonds formed within the atoms of polypeptide chains. Thus a secondary structure will have a peptide and hydrogen bonds.

The tertiary structure of protein is a three dimensional structure formed by the various bonds. The primary bond responsible for the tertiary structure is disulphide bonds. Hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds are the other bonds that contribute the tertiary structure.

The quaternary structure of proteins are made up of more than one polypeptide chain. Hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds are seen in the quaternary structure.
