Correct option is (c) Fungal

For explanation: Chitinase is used for the disruption of the cell wall of fungi. The cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin and it gives the structural strength to the cell. It is also present in the exoskeleton of a few insects and protects the cell wall from desiccation. Thus, the use of chitinase can break the cell wall of fungi.
