Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Enzymes are the biocatalyst of biological world. Enzymes are mostly proteins and are classified into groups depending on their type of activity.

Ligases are those that join two groups together. Lyases are group of enzyme which break the substrate without hydrolysis. Transferase help in transferring the functional group in the substrate reaction. Isomerases are the category that helps in converting the molecules into their isomers.
