Solution

The correct option is B Alkaline phosphatase
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a test that uses antibodies and color change to detect a substance. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate groups from a substrate molecule, resulting in a colored product or the release of light.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
