Solution

The correct option is D Carbonic anhydrase
Enzymes are biological catalysts which catalyze biological reactions. They do not modify the chemical equilibria in any manner but simply make the attainment of equilibrium faster. Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes reversible reaction between carbon dioxide and water to form carbonic acid. This enzyme is one of the fastest enzyme. It is especially abundant in human erythrocytes.
