Solution

The correct option is A Acetic acid and choline
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) refers to a cholinergic enzyme primarily found at postsynaptic neuromuscular junctions, especially in muscles and nerves. It immediately breaks down or hydrolyzes acetylcholine (ACh), a naturally occurring neurotransmitter, into acetic acid and choline.
So, the correct option is option B.
