Solution

The correct option is B Hydrolases
Hydrolase enzymes break large molecules into small molecules with the help of hydrogen and hydroxyl group of water molecules. The phenomenon is known as hydrolysis. Digestive enzymes in our body help to break down macromolecules of food into smaller molecules by the process of hydrolysis. So, digestive enzymes belong to the class Hydrolases. Thus, the correct option is B.
