Explanation
The indispensable amino acids are those amino acids that cannot be synthesised by the organism being considered and therefore must be supplied in its diet. The amino acids regarded as essential for humans are 2-Amino-4-methylpentanoic acid, 2,6-Diammoniohexanoic acid, etc.
Hence, C and D both are indispensable amino acids and others are conditionally amino acids.
