D Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct because UniProt is a comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information. InterPro is a database of protein families, domains and functional sites in which identifiable features found in known proteins can be applied to new protein sequences in order to functionally characterise them. The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a largely manual classification of protein structural domains based on similarities of their structures and amino acid sequences. ModBase is a database of annotated comparative protein structure models, containing models for more than 3.8 million unique protein sequences.
