Solution

The correct option is C Lyases
Lyases are a group of enzymes which catalyze the breakage of specific covalent bonds and removal of groups without hydrolyzes. For example, enzyme aldolase helps in combining dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde in glycolysis to form fructose 1,6-diphosphate.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
