A

CN\text{C}-\text{N} bond length in proteins is longer than usual bond length of CN\text{C}-\text{N} bond

B

Spectroscopic analysis show planar structure of CONH-\overset{\substack{\text{O} \\ ||}}{\text{C}}-\text{NH}- group

C

CN\text{C}-\text{N} bond length in proteins is smaller than usual bond length of CN\text{C}-\text{N} bond

D

None of above
