Solution

The correct option is B RuBisCO of plants and collagen of animals
  • The most abundant protein in the world is RuBisCO. This is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in carbon fixation.
  • RuBisCO is found in plants, algae, cyanobacteria, and certain other bacteria.
  • Carbon fixation is the main chemical reaction responsible for inorganic carbon used for the formation of food.
  • The most abundant protein in the human body is collagen.
  • It is the common protein in other mammals. Collagen forms connective tissue.
  • It is found primarily in fibrous tissue, such as tendons, ligaments, and skin.
  • It is a component of muscle, cartilage, bone, blood vessels, the cornea of the eye, intervertebral discs and the intestinal tract.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
