Options
A NH2 & -COOH
Correct Answer
B NH2 & -CHO
C NH2 & -CO
D NH2 & CONH2
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

This question seems to be describing an amino acid, not a carboxylic acid. A carboxylic acid has the functional group -COOH (carboxyl group). An amino acid has both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH). Given the options, only A lists -NH2 and -COOH, which are the functional groups of an amino acid.

Hint
