Solution

The correct option is B Isomerase
Enzyme catalyzing optical or geometrical rearrangement of atomic groupings without altering molecular weight or number of atom is isomerase. It converts into one form of isomer to the other isomer by changing the intramolecular arrangement by forming or breaking the bond. For, example glucose 6 phosphate is changed to fructose 6 phosphate by enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (an isomerase) during the process of glycolysis.
So, the correct answer is option B.
