Solution

The correct option is D Lysozyme
Ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the joining of two molecules by forming a new chemical bond.
Lysozyme is an enzyme found in tears, saliva, sweat, and other body fluids. It destroys bacteria that attempt to enter the body. In the case of tears (lacrimal glands), it protects the eyes from bacterial invaders.
Lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats.
So, the answer is B.
