Step 1: Protein Characterization — High molecular weight proteins are composed of hundreds of amino acid residues. Hydrolysis breaks the peptide bonds to release these units.
Step 2: Structure Analysis — Analyzing the side chain in the provided image reveals a specific amino acid structure with characteristic functional groups.
Step 3: Identification — Comparison with standard amino acid structures identifies option (b) as the correct monomer obtained from the protein 'X'.
Key Point: Protein molecular weights allow for a vast diversity of amino acid sequences.
