Solution

The correct option is A zymase
Alcoholic fermentation converts one mole of glucode into two moles of ethanol and two moles of carbon dioxide, producing two moles of ATP in the process. The overall chemical formula for alcoholic fermentation is: $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + Z y m a s e \to 2 C_{2} H_{5} O H + 2 C O 2$
The enzyme which can catalyse the conversion of glucose to ethanol is zymase
