Detailed Solution

 The denaturation process does not change the primary structure of the proteins as the reactions occurring in the denaturing process are not strong enough to break the peptide bond in the primary structure. Thus, we can say that the denaturation of protein leads to the loss of its biological activity through the loss of both secondary and tertiary structures.

Hence, the correct answer is (D) Loss of both secondary and tertiary structures.
