Peptide bond is formed from two amino acids and on dissociation this peptide bond should produce two amino acids. Third amide linkage on hydrolysis will produce aniline which is not amino acid therefore, this compound has 2 peptide bonds. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-zaa3mntyalfygpaa.jpg" />
