Solution

The correct option is B Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that are biocatalysts i.e., they increase the rate of a particular biochemical reaction. But under normal circumstances, they are neither consumed nor do they undergo any permanent changes during the reaction and so remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

Hormones, vitamins and nucleotides are metabolised in our body to form various products and are consumed in biochemical processes.
