Q. Assertion: $\beta$-pleated sheet structure of protein shows maximum extension.
Reason: Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present in them.

AIIMSAIIMS 2011Biomolecules

Solution:

In $\beta$ -pleated sheet structure, the polypeptide chains are held together by intermolecular H-bonds. Extension and contraction of $\beta$ -pleated sheet structure of protein depends on the size of $R$.
