Solution

The correct option is C amino acids
Proteins are made up of smaller building blocks called amino acids, joined together in chains. There are 20 different amino acids.

Some proteins are just a few amino acids long, while others are made up of several thousand.

These chains of amino acids fold up in complex ways, giving each protein a unique 3D shape.

Option A is correct.
