The correct answer is C. Tertiary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proteins have four distinct levels of structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The level of protein structure that corresponds to the formation of the globular protein with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the subunits is tertiary structure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tertiary structure<\/strong> refers to the overall 3D shape of a protein, formed by the folding of the polypeptide chain. This folding occurs due to interactions between the side chains (R-groups) of the amino acids that make up the protein. These interactions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
