Best answer
Right option is (c) Penicillinase

The explanation is: Penicillinase destroys penicillin and hence is used to treat patients with penicillin allergies. Hyaluronidase is used in the treatment of traumatic and postoperative edema. Trypsin is used in the treatment of acute thrombophlebitis to dissolve clots. Lysozyme has antibacterial action and is used in treating eye infections.
