The simplest amino acid is:
A
Proline
B
Methionine
C
Valine
D
Glycine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycine is the simplest amino acid and most commonly found in animal proteins. It is a glucogenic and non-essential amino acid that is produced naturally by living bodies and plays a key role in the creation of several other important bio-compounds and proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycine is the simplest amino acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycine is the simplest amino acid with an amino and a carboxyl group. Its chemical formula is NH2‐CH2‐COOH. It lacks any R or variable groups and hence considered the simplest amino acid among the 20 types of amino acids available.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycine; is a protein amino acid found in the protein of all life forms. It is the simplest amino acid in the body and the only protein amino acid that does not have chirality. Glycine is the organic compound with the formula HO2CCH2NH2. It is one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycine is the simple amino acid with no L or D chemical configuration. The extracellular structural proteins such as elastin and collagen are made up of glycine.
