Best answer
Right answer is (b) Suitable density gradient

The best explanation: Conjugating enzymes are intracellular enzymes that are located in liver mitochondria. In order to avoid contamination from other proteins, we need to use a suitable density gradient which will remove unwanted debris. Apt chemical compounds, centrifugation and proper filtration can be used in case extracting extracellular enzyme as it is much easier to isolate.
