Solution

The correct option is B Hydratase
Hydrolase are the hydroxylating enzymes. One class of hydrolase enzymes catalyze addition of water molecule across the double bond. The hydratase enzymes catalyze addition of water molecules. The double bond between carbon atoms will be converted to a single bond.
