Solution
The correct option is B Casein
Casein is a milk protein. It is a phosphoprotein as because it has phosphorous as a conjugated group. 82% of the milk protein is casein and rest 12 % is whey protein. It is acted upon by the renin enzyme and gets converted into paracasein by the process of coagulation. It contains a high number of proline residues. So, the correct answer is option B.
