Right choice is (a) Hydrolases

Explanation: Glycosidases, lipases and proteases belong to hydrolases. This class of enzymes catalyze the hydrolytic reaction and their reversal. Ligases are involved in ligation reactions whereas transferases involve transfer of atoms. Isomerases are class of enzymes that are involved in isomerization of molecules.
