Solution

The correct option is B Transferase
Based on the type of reaction catalyzed, the international union of biochemist have classified enzymes into six major classes- Oxidoreductase, Transferase, Hydrolase, Lyase, Ligase and Isomerase.
Transferase is the general name for the class of enzymes that enact the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor).
