Right answer is (c) Acidolyses

The explanation: Acidolyses is a reaction which involves carboxyl group exchange between esters and carboxylic acids by use of transferases. Transesterification and alcoholyses involves transferases enzyme which allows carboxyl group exchange between esters and exchange of alcohol between esters and alcohols respectively. Isomerization involves forming isomers of a compound using isomerases.
