The correct answer is (b) exopeptidases

The best explanation: Proteolytic digestive enzymes which hydrolyze the peptide bond from the ends are referred to as exopeptidases. Endopeptidase hydrolyze the peptide bond between specific aminoacid. The enzyme that hydrolyze elastin and other protein present in extracellular matrix is proteinase. Transaminase are the enzymes which are involved in transfer of aminoacids.
