Examples of amino acids with nonpolar chains
A
Alanine
B
Valine
C
Leucine
D
All the anteriors
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nonpolar amino acids include alanine (Ala), leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), proline (Pro), tryptophan (Trp), valine (Val), phenylalanine (Phe), and methionine (Met).

Detailed explanation-2: -The non-polar amino acids (shown here) include: alanine, cysteine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine.

Detailed explanation-3: -For non-polar side chains, the amino acids are: Alanine (A), Valine (V), Leucine (L), Isoleucine (I), Proline (P), Phenylalanine (F), Methionine (M), Tryptophan (W), Glycine (G) and Cysteine (C).

Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids are grouped according to what their side chains are like. The nine amino acids that have hydrophobic side chains are glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala), valine (Val), leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), proline (Pro), phenylalanine (Phe), methionine (Met), and tryptophan (Trp).
