Solution
The correct option is C Ile
Histidine, aspartate and arginine are hydrophillic amino acids as they can easily form H-bonds with water. But isoleucine is hydrophobic amino acid which is normally buried inside the protein core and it tend to be repelled from water.So, the correct option is 'Ile'.
