Best answer
Right option is (d) aminoacyclase

For explanation I would say: Racemic mixtures of aminoacids may be resolved by using immobilized aminoacyclases.  Hydantoinase produces is specific to D-hydantoins which help in production aminoacids by forming D-carbamoyl aminoacids as an intermediate. Aspartase is used to produce aspartic acid from fumaric acid. Histidase used in the production from L-histidine from Achromobacter liquidum.
