Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule in the given image contains an amine functional group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and an amide functional group (-CONH2). Therefore, the best choice is option B, which includes all three functional groups mentioned above. Option A has a ketone functional group (-C=O) instead of an amide functional group, option C has an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) instead of a carboxylic acid functional group, and option D has a ketone functional group (-C=O) instead of a carboxylic acid functional group. Thus, option B is the only choice that correctly identifies all the functional groups in the given molecule.
