The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a specific protein that serves as a structural material in biological systems. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Albumin - Oxytocin - Hemoglobin - Keratin 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Albumin**: This is a globular protein primarily found in blood plasma and is involved in maintaining osmotic pressure, not a structural protein. - **Oxytocin**: This is a peptide hormone involved in childbirth and lactation, not a structural protein. - **Hemoglobin**: This is a globular protein that carries oxygen in the blood, also not a structural protein. - **Keratin**: This is a fibrous protein that forms the structural material in hair, nails, feathers, and horns. 4. **Conclusion**: Among the options, keratin is the only protein that serves as a structural material. It is known for its role in providing strength and protection in various biological structures. 5. **Final Answer**: The protein that is a structural material is **Keratin**.
