Solution

The correct option is B Papain
Endopeptidase are the proteolytic enzymes which cleave the peptide chain at internal locations. They break peptide bonds of non terminal amino acids (i.e. within the molecule), in contrast to exopeptidases, which break peptide bonds from their end-pieces. One example is papain obtained from unripe papaya.
