B How different polypeptide chains of a multimeric protein interact.

CThe configuration of the beta pleated sheet.

I believe that the tertiary structure of proteins has to do with how B-sheets and A-helices fold with one another. Immediately, I'm drawn to 'A'.

B I think describes the quaternary strucutre (The different subunits)

C is wrong because B-sheets and A-helices are the secondary structure,

D - not quite sure, but it doesn't directly mention folding like A, so I'd be more inclined to choose A.

A?

Seriously.

But, whatever, the answer is A.

The answer is A. Tertiary structure describes R-group interaction of the amino acids. Good luck!
