Best answer
Right option is (a) Histidine

Explanation: Histidine is odd one out as it is a basic amino-acid. If the side chain attached is a basic group, the amino-acid is called basic amino-acid. Cysteine, threonine and tyrosine are neutral amino acids. If the sidechain attached has no extra basic or acidic group, the amino-acid is referred to as neutral amino-acid.
