Solution

The correct option is B Casein
Casein is a slow-digesting dairy protein that people often take as a supplement. It releases amino acids slowly, so people often take it before bed to help with recovery and reduce muscle breakdown while they sleep. Several studies have shown it helps boost muscle growth, along with a ton of other benefits.
Also Casein interferes with the growth of cancer cells and hence is also used for the treatment of cancer.
Hence option B is correct answer.
