Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Amino acids contain amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups. Depending upon the relative position of the amino group with respect to the carboxyl group, the amino acids can be classified as α, β, γ, δ and so on. Only α-amino acids are obtained on the hydrolysis of proteins. 

So, only in option (B) α-amino acid given all the other options are not α-amino acids.
