Hint: Proteins consist of a large number of amino acids linked with each other by peptide bonds. Category from which proteins can be easily found in nature and are easily accessible is the best. Proteins can be obtained from animals, plants, bacteria and from many other living beings.

Complete Step by Step Solution:
Polysaccharide protein (PSP) is a type of well known complex carbohydrates, polysaccharides. It’s protein complex (PSP) extracted from Coriolus Versicolor mycelia (an edible mushroom) which is used to cure many medical issues. From this complex, it is not easy to extract proteins qualitatively.

Glycerides are lipids (compounds which cannot dissolve in water) consist of fatty acid and glycerol but not proteins. But triglycerides are lipids which can not be polarised thus, their bound lipoprotein particles during transportation in plasma.

Polythioethers or polysulfide reductase enzymes are a complex of proteins which play an important role in very heavy environmental processes like volcanic and hot water springs. Whereas polyamide is a good source of proteins. As proteins consist of a large number of amino groups, thus, amino groups are the monomers for proteins generating polyamide.
Thus, the correct option is A.

Note: Polyamide occurs in nature and is easily accessible by animals like wool from sheep, silk from silkworm and nylon from petroleum (nylon 6,6). Thus, It is the best category from which proteins can easily be extracted.
