The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.

An enzyme acts to speed up chemical reactions, and enzymes are proteins. They act as catalysts to lower the activation energy needed to start certain chemical reactions.

klio [65]

A cephalopod is a predatory-like mollusk of the large molluscan class of Cephalopodan animals. This includes cuttlefish, octopus, squid, and/or nautilus. They are animals that live in the ocean. Additionally they eat foods like fish and jellyfish on regular and customary occasions. They sometimes possess cannibalism by eating their own species, which is absolutely crazy. Anyways, I hope that this has helped you today.. :)
