Solution

The correct option is C Tyrosine
The amino acids, which can be synthesised in the body, are known as nonessential amino acids. On the other hand, those which cannot be synthesised in the body and must be obtained through diet, are known as essential amino acids.
Here tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid.
