Solution

The correct option is D Is dictated by the primary structures of the individual subunits
All proteins have primary, secondary and tertiary structures. However, quaternary structure is shown by multi subunit proteins only. Multi subunit proteins are the proteins in which functional unit is made up of more than one peptide chain. More than one peptide chain associate together in such proteins.
