Answer: D. They act to break down the protective barriers around the egg, allowing the sperm.

Acrosin and other protease enzymes functions by the catalyzing the proteolysis, that is the breakdown of proteins into small polypeptides by cleaving the peptide bonds within the proteins by the process of hydrolysis.
