Best answer
The correct option is (c) Urokinase

For explanation I would say: Urokinase is a serine protease that is prepared from human urine and is used to dissolve blood clots. It converts plasminogen to plasmin. Uricase is used in the treatment of gout. Lysozyme acts as an antibiotic. Asparginase is used in the treatment of cancer.
