Respuesta :
I believe the answer is D. a group of atoms bonded to carbon that determines how the molecule will react
A functional group is a group of atoms within a molecule that interacts in predictable ways with other molecules; together functional groups and carbon skeletons determine the properties of organic molecules.

Answer:
A group of atoms bonded to carbon that determines how the molecule will react
Explanation:
Functional groups are atom or groups of atom attached to the organic compound in a specific manner.
Some of the examples of functional groups are:
-COOH, -Cl, -OH, -NO2, -COCl, -C=O, etc.
Functional groups determines the characteristics chemical properties of a organic compound.
The different organic compounds having same functional group undergoes same or similar type of reaction.
