D Correct answer
Explanation

Valine, leucine, and isoleucine are all branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) characterized by aliphatic side chains with branching at the beta-carbon. These essential amino acids are important for protein synthesis, energy production, and muscle metabolism. The 'branched chain' refers to their structural similarity.
