Answer:

D. Peptide bond

Explanation:

The reaction between one amino acid and another is

[tex]\rm H$_{2}$NCH(R)-CO-OH + H-NH-CH(R)COOH\\\\\longrightarrow \,\text{H${_2}$NCH(R)-} \underbrace{\text{CO-NH}}_{^\text{peptide}_{\text{bond}}}\text{-CH(R)COOH + H$_{2}$O}[/tex]

The bond that joins the two amino acids is called a peptide bond.
