B.

Invertase

C.

Sucrase

E.

Answer not known

Correct option is B

Correct answer – (b) Invertase enzyme breaks sucrose into glucose (dextrose) and fructose (levulose). This conversion helps in honey formation and ripening. Hence, invertase is the correct enzyme.
Information Booster / Facts Honey mainly contains glucose and fructose. Invertase is secreted by worker bees.
Why other options are incorrect (a) Nuclease acts on nucleic acids, not sugars. (c) Amylase breaks starch into sugars, not sucrose splitting. (d) Sucrase is a general term, but standard answer in apiculture is invertase.
