Best answer
Correct answer is (c) β – Lactamase

To explain I would say: β – Lactamase converts penicillin to penicilloate which helps inn treating penicillin allergies. Rhodanase is used in the treatment of cyanide poisoning. Uricase is used in the treatment of gout. Hyaluronidase is used in the treatment of a heart attack.
