Solution

The correct option is A Nitrogen
Proteins are biomolecules that are made of monomers called amino acids. Each amino acid has a variable side chain, an amino group and a carboxylic acid group in its general structure. The amino group shows nitrogen. Hence nitrogen carbon and hydrogen are elements required to make the basic structure. Thus the correct answer is option A.
