Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Phospholipase C comes in the category of membrane-associated enzymes, which plays an essential role in the cell physiology of eukaryotes, mainly in the process of signal transduction. One of the general features of the phospholipase C pathway is that it enhances the concentration of calcium within the cell's cytoplasm.  

With the stimulation of phospholipase C within a cell, calcium generally gets discharged from the intracellular compartments, which eventually results in the upsurge of calcium levels within the cell's cytoplasm.
