Solution
The correct option is B Trypsin The proteolytic enzymes are capable of hydrolyzing the peptide bonds. Trypsin is an example of a proteolytic enzyme which acts on the proteins to give a mixture of the peptide and peptones. The enzyme is produced in the proenzyme form by the pancreas and activated in the duodenum to digest proteins.
