Sodium is not a functional group that can bond with carbon (Option C)

A functional group is a combination of atoms in a molecule that is capable of conferring particular chemical and physical properties.The most common functional groups include the carboxylic acids groups (CO2H),  carbonyl groups (C=O), alcohol groups (-OH), ester groups (CO2R), and amine groups (NH2).Functional groups are observed along the carbon backbone of the biomolecules.This carbon backbone is made up of chains/rings of carbon atoms with the occasional substitution of an element (e.g., N or O).
