Solution

The correct option is C Lipase
It is difficult to remove stains on clothes due to drops of fats or lipids. The fats in these drops needs to be dissolved, to remove the stains. One of the most widely commercially used enzymes are lipases which dissolve fats and lipids of tough stains, so that the stains can be easily washed away.
