Solution

The correct option is D Isomerases
Ligases are the enzymes which catalyze joining together of two DNA segments. Lyases catalyze the breaking of chemical bonds without hydrolysis while hydrolases catalyze hydrolytic cleavage of bonds. Isomerases catalyze interconversion of optical, geometrical or positional isomers of a particular enzyme.
