4. None of them

​

Answer 1

Answer :

I think your ans is Lysozyme.

Explanation :

1) Amylase :

Amylase is a digestive enzyme that acts on starch in food, breaking it down into smaller carbohydrate molecules.

2) Lysozyme :

Lysozyme is an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that form part of the innate immune system. Lysozyme is abundant in secretions including tears, sweat, saliva, human milk, and mucus. The action of lysozyme is physiological as it is an antimicrobial enzyme which kills certain types of bacteria.
