Correct option (d) α-keto acids

Explanation :

Amino acids are smallest structural units of proteins. Plants and some microorganisms can synthesise these amino acids from inorganic nitrogen/ α-keto acids by reductive amination and transamination. Amino acids besides bearing a carboxyl group, possess an amino group attached to α-carbon, hence, called as α-amino acids.
