The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Primary structure is the amino acid sequence joined by peptide bonds.
Secondary structure (\(\alpha\)-helix, \(\beta\)-pleated sheet) arises from regular folding of the chain.
These folds are held in place by hydrogen bonds between the C=O of one residue and the N-H of another.
Glycosidic bonds occur in carbohydrates, and peptide bonds define the primary structure.
Answer: (1) Hydrogen bonding
