Solution

The correct option is D Four

The brush borders of the intestinal lining are the site of terminal carbohydrate digestions. The microvilli that constitute the brush border have enzymes for this final part of digestion anchored into their apical plasma membrane as integral membrane proteins. Maltase, lactase, erepsin, nucleosidase are the brush border enzymes.

So, the correct option is 'four'.
