The correct option is B Enzyme
Chymosin, known also as rennin, is a proteolytic enzyme synthesized by chief cells in the stomach in young ruminants. Its role in digestion is to curdle or coagulate milk in the stomach, in the very young animal. Chymosin efficiently converts liquid milk to a semisolid like cottage cheese, allowing it to be retained for longer periods in the stomach. It is widely used in the production of cheese.
