Solution

The correct option is B NH2> COOH> CH3> H
R and S configuration is decided on the basis of atomic number. Element with the highest atomic number will get first priority.

- N has the highest atomic number

- When the bonded atom has same atomic number then we look at the 2nd carbon for priority.

So, option C is correct.
