Best answer
Right answer is (c) Methane mono oxygenase

Best explanation: Methane mono oxygenase enzyme acts as a catalyst in the first step in methane oxidation by attacking the inert methane, whereas, Methanol, Formaldehyde, carbon dioxide are not enzymes and hence they do not take part in methane oxidation.
