Solution

The correct option is B Proteins
Enzymes are water soluble colloidal macromolecules which are wholly or partially proteinaceous in nature. The protein part of enzyme is called apoenzyme while the non protein part is called prosthetic group which may be coenzyme or cofactor.
Hence, enzymes are basically proteins.
So, the correct answer is Proteins.
