Which Statement About the Digestion of Protein Is Most Accurate

Which statement about the digestion of protein is most accurate?

A) During digestion, proteins are broken down into individual amino acids. Once absorbed, the body recombines the amino acids to create a new protein for a specific purpose. The body cannot store amino acids.
B) During digestion, proteins are broken down into individual amino acids. The amino acids are then stored in adipose tissue. As needed, adipose tissue releases the necessary proteins, which are then recombined to create a new protein.
C) During digestion, the structure of each individual protein remains intact, allowing it to be used immediately for a specific purpose.
D) During digestion, proteins are broken down into individual amino acids. Some of these amino acids are recombined to form new proteins. Those not used immediately are stored in the liver.
