Correct answer is (d) Carboxymethylcellulose

For explanation: Carboxymethylcellulose is an inert material used as preservatives in solid preparations. Substrates, thiols, antibiotics, benzoic acid esters, inhibitors of contaminating enzyme activities and chelating agents are used as preservatives for liquid enzyme preparations. These additives must be compatible with the final use of the enzyme’s product.
