Correct option is D

The secondary structure of proteins refers to the shape in which a long polypeptide chain can exist. They are found to exist in two different types of structures, i.e, α-helix and β-pleated sheet structure. These structures arise due to the regular folding of the backbone of the polypeptide chain due to hydrogen bonding between group of the peptide bond.
