Solution

The correct option is B both pectinase and cellulase
Protoplast:

Protoplast is a plant cell with the cell wall removed.

Isolation of desired protoplasts:
Isolation of desired protoplasts is done by digesting the cell wall made up of pectin and cellulose with the help of digestive enzymes like pectinase, cellulase, and hemicellulase.

Final answer: c. both pectinase and cellulase.
