Correct Answer: Pepsin
Solution : The correct option is Pepsin.
Pepsin is the enzyme that digests proteins in the stomach. The chief cells in the stomach lining generate pepsin in an inactive state known as pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is activated and transformed into pepsin when it comes into contact with the acidic environment of the stomach. Pepsin is in charge of converting proteins into smaller peptide fragments that may subsequently be digested and absorbed in the small intestine.
