Solution

The correct option is A Hind II
The restriction endonuclease is an enzyme produced chiefly by certain bacteria, that has the property of cleaving DNA molecules at or near a specific sequence of bases.Hind III is a restriction endonuclease. It is a type II site-specific deoxyribonuclease restriction enzyme isolated from Haemophilus influenzae that cleaves the DNA palindromic sequence AAGCTT.
A protease (also called a peptidase or proteinase) is an enzyme that performs proteolysis; protein catabolism by hydrolysis of peptide bonds.
DNase I is a nonspecific endonuclease that degrades double- and single-stranded DNA and chromatin.
Ribonuclease (commonly abbreviated RNase) is a type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.
