Options:
A) If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
B) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Desmolysing enzymes are those which catalyse reactions by mechanisms other than hydrolysis, e.g., aldolases, dehydrogenases, oxidases, etc.
Digestive enzymes function by catalysing hydrolysis.
Larger molecules are broken into smaller ones.
They are grouped into three types - proteolytic (breaks protein molecule), amylolytic (breaks starch molecule) and lipolytic (breaks lipid molecule).
