Solution

The correct option is A Isomerases
Isomerases are the enzymes which catalyse transfer of groups within molecules to yield isomeric bonds. As aldose and ketose sugars are isomers, their interconversion is catalyzed by isomerases.
Transferases will catalyze group transfer reactions.
Hydrolases will catalyze hydrolytic reactions and ligases catalyze formation of C-C, C-S, C-O and C-N bonds by condensation reactions coupled to ATP cleavage.
