Solution
The correct option is B Ribonuclease P Ribonuclease P or RNase P is a unique form of ribozyme (RNA molecule that acts as an enzyme catalyst as a proteinaceous enzyme would) that cleaves RNA molecules. Ribosomes are non membrane bound organelles that help in the production of proteins and are also known as the protein factories of the cell. Proteases are enzymes that breakdown proteins. Deoxyribonuclease enzymes break down DNA molecules.
