Solution
The correct option is D Valine
Amino acids that dissolve in water are hydrophilic amino acid, that is the R- group in these amino acids can interact with water, in contrast with the hydrophobic amino acids that do not interact with water and thereby do not dissolve in it. Of the amino acids listed here valine, with a (CH3−CH−CH3) R-group is the hydrophobic amino acid.
