Solution

The correct option is B Protein
Enzymes are the specialized proteins which are capable of catalyzing reactions in the living cells.
These enzymes are structurally different and have specific sites which helps the enzyme to bind to a substrate for the catalyzation.
But there are some exceptions, that enzymes such as Ribozymes are not made up of proteins and they are made up of Nucleic acids.
Therefore, enzymes are basically proteins.
