Solution

The correct option is C Rennin
Rennin is a proteolytic enzyme found in gastric juice of infants which helps in the digestion of milk proteins.

Pepsin converts proteins into proteoses and peptones (peptides).

Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme synthesized in the pancreas which plays an essential role in proteolysis or the breakdown of proteins and polypeptides.

Lactase digests lactose(sugar) of milk (not protein).
