    It's a) 710. since it is given that molecular mass is 85'000 Dalton and we know the average molecular mass is 110 Dalton, so 85000÷110 will give approx 770 which is near to 710 in the given options.

    total molecular weight = 85000 da. Average weight of 1 amino acid =100. so 85000/100=850. so nearest option is 710.
