structure

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Removing puts the negative charge on the nitrogen : structure

Removing puts the negative charge on the nitrogen : structure

In both cases the charge is on nitrogen with no resonance, so compare induction : the methyl group donates electron density and destabilises the second anion. The first conjugate base is more stable, so the N-H proton of the group, , is more acidic.
