Solution

The correct option is A Papain
Papain is also known as papaya proteinase I. It is found in papaya. It breaks the peptide bond of the proteins. It also hydrolyzes esters and amides.
Trypsinogen is activated by enteropeptidase to trypsin which helps in the digestion of protein in the small intestine.
Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides.
Urease hydrolyzes urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. All three enzymes are present in animals.
So, the correct answer is option A.
