Correct answer is (d) β-galactosidase

Easy explanation: β-galactosidase is used as a label in various immunoassays for determining serum concentration of drugs, hormones or other compounds of interest. Whereas lactate dehydrogenase, hexokinase and urease acts as reagents in lactase, creatinine kinase and urea assay.
