Solution

The correct option is D Zymase
Yeast is a single-celled fungus which contains a number of enzymes useful during fermentation. Brewers yeast and wine yeast, for example, contain zymase, an enzyme that can convert glucose to ethanol. The zymase acts on glucose and leads to the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide. So, the correct answer is option C.
