The simplest amino acid which can accommodate in a small space is
A
proline
B
alanine
C
glycine
D
valine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycine (symbol Gly or G; /ˈɡlaɪsiːn/ ( listen)) is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest stable amino acid (carbamic acid is unstable), with the chemical formula NH2‐CH2‐COOH. Glycine is one of the proteinogenic amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Glycine: A small amino acid with big effects on the body & brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
