The correct option is A True
There are 20 amino acids found inside our body. The name of these 20 common amino acids is as follows: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. They get combined in an unlimited number of configurations to construct all the required proteins with which our body is built.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
