Answer:

D

Explanation:

Denaturation occurs when the protein deforms and loses its structure.

According to the question, A protein is exposed to extremely high heat, causing it to lose its secondary structure and be left with only its primary structure.

What is protein denaturation and how does it happen?

A protein becomes denatured when its normal shape gets deformed because some of the hydrogen bonds are broken.

Weak hydrogen bonds break when too much heat is applied or when they are exposed to an acid.

Thus, option "D" is correct.
