Solution

The correct option is D Isomerases
Enzyme catalyzing optical or geometrical rearrangement of atomic groups without altering molecular weight or number of atoms is isomerase. It converts one isomer to the other isomer by changing the intramolecular arrangement by forming or breaking the bond. For example, dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde phosphate both are three carbon compound and DHAP gets isomerized to glyceraldehyde phosphate by enzyme triose phosphate isomerase.
So, the correct answer is option A.
