Answer:

Three methyl groups

Step-by-step explanation:

The lysine ε-amino group of proteins can accept up to three methyl groups, resulting in either mono-, di-, or trimethyl lysine, (me1, me2, or me3) with the various methylation states of lysines that exert distinct functions. Hope this helped!
