Best answer
Right option is (d) Aspartate transaminase

The best explanation: Aspartate transaminase is the odd one out as it a type of transaminases, which are involved in transfer of aminoacids. Trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase are examples of endopeptidases, which hydrolyze the peptide bonds between specific aminoacid.
