Solution

The correct option is A
Lysine

As we can see Zwitter ion is formed by the combination of structure B and D.
Also, $p H > 7, average of p K_{a} values > 7$
$p H < 7, average of p K_{a} values < 7$
Given $p H of lysine is = 9.7$
So, $p H$ of ;ysine = average of $p K_{a}$ values of B and D structure.
Therefore,
$p H$ of lysine = $\frac{p K_{a_{2}} + p K_{a_{3}}}{2}$
$p H = \frac{8.95 + 10.53}{2}$
$p H = 9.74$
Hence, the correct answer is (C).
