It is not fibrous:

Correct answer: A. Haemoglobin

  • A. Haemoglobin
  • B. Myosin
  • C. Silk
  • D. Fibrin

Explanation

The correct answer is Haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a globular protein, characterized by its compact and spherical structure, which is crucial for its function in oxygen transport. In contrast, proteins like Myosin, Silk, and Fibrin are fibrous. Myosin forms long fibrils necessary for muscle contraction, Silk's beta-pleated sheets grant it strength and flexibility, and Fibrin's fibrous networks are critical for blood clotting, all typical features of fibrous proteins.
