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.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
