Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

In nomenclature of restriction enzymes, the first letter of the name of the genus in which given enzyme is discovered is written first in capial. It is followed by the first two letters of species name of the organism and these three letters are generally written in italics. Hin and Hpa, both are produced from a single genus Haemophilus but from two different species i.e, H. influenzae and H. parainfluenza respectively.
