Correct answer is (c) leukemia

To elaborate: Bacterial asparginase is used in the treatment of leukemia. Asparginase hydrolyses aspargine to aspartic acid. Aspargine is necessary for the formation of white leukemic cells. Trypsin is used in cleaning of wounds by removing the pus in it. Fibrinolysin is used in the treatment of venus thrombosis. Hyaluronidase is used in the treatment of traumatic or postoperative edema.
