Solution
The correct option is B Lyases
The EC number 4.2.1.7 is assigned to the enzyme named altronate dehydratase or D-altronate hydro-lyase. This enzyme catalyses the dehydration of D-altronate and results in the formation of 2-dehydroxy-3-deoxy-D-gluconate and water. Thus, the answer is B, i.e., the enzyme which has EC number 4.2.1.7 is assigned to the class of Lyases.
