Solution

The correct option is B Enterokinase to typsinogen
Gastric enzyme pepsin is secreted in inactive form pepsinogen. The pepsinogen is activated to pepsin on exposure to gastric hydrochloric acid. The pancretic juice contains trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase as the proteolytic enzymes. The trypsinogen is activated to trypsin by the action of enzyme enterokinase. Activated trypsin then inturn activates chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase.
