Solution

The correct option is B Casein into paracasein
  • Rennin is a proteolytic enzyme found in gastric juice of infants.
  • This enzyme causes coagulation of milk and is important in the digestive processes of infants because it prevents the rapid passage of milk from the stomach.
  • In the presence of calcium, rennin changes irreversibly the casein of milk to a paracasein which is then acted upon by pepsin. Hence, Rennin acts on milk proteins and converts Casein into paracasein.
So, the correct answer is 'Casein into paracasein'.
