- B(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
- C(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Correct answer

Step-by-step solution
According to the IUBMB system of enzyme classification: Transferases catalyse the transfer of a group (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrates. Hence, (A) matches with (III). Hydrolases catalyse the hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide or P-N bonds. Hence, (B) matches with (II). Isomerases catalyse the inter-conversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers. Hence, (C) matches with (IV). Ligases catalyse the linking together of 2 compounds (e.g., joining of C-O, C-S, C-N, P-
