Solution

The correct option is C Pancreas
Deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease are the nucleases which catalyze the degradation of DNA and RNA respectively. They bring about the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester bonds. These enzymes are present in the digestive juice and are secreted by acinar cells of the pancreas in their active forms along with other enzymes such as lipase and amylase. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
