Solution

The correct option is B Pepsin and rennin
Gastric juice contains two main enzymes: pepsin and rennin. Pepsin breaks down proteins into short polypeptide chains while rennin coagulates the soluble milk protein, casein forming an insoluble curd which is subsequently attacked by pepsin. Renin is however produced only in infants.
