Right choice is (d) AmpR

The explanation is: The restriction enzymes are enzymes which cut the DNA into fragments. Examples are Hind III, Eco RI, Bam HI, Sal I, etc. They are also called as molecular scissors. They may be restriction endonuclease or restriction exonuclease. They recognize the recognition site where they cut DNA into fragments.
