Right option is (b) transferases

The explanation: Transferases catalyze the transfer of atoms such as acyl-, alkyl-, and glycosyl groups. Oxidoreductases catalyzes redox reactions, whereas ligases catalyze the formation of covalent bonds coupled with breakdown of ATP or other NTPs. Isomerases catalyzes formation of isomers of molecules.
