Solution

The correct option is A Transaminase
Transaminase belongs to transferase group. Many amino acid biosynthetic pathways involve transamination reactions. The alpha-amino group from one amino acid is transferred to an alpha-keto acid to produce a new amino acid. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme called aminotransferases (formerly called transaminases). So, correct answer is B.
