The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks for the proteolytic enzyme found in the gastric juice of infants that aids in the digestion of milk protein. 2. **Understand the Options**: The options provided are: - Renin - Salivary amylase - Lysozyme 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Renin**: This is a hormone secreted by the kidneys that regulates blood pressure. It is not related to digestion. - **Salivary Amylase**: This enzyme is found in saliva and is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates, not proteins. - **Lysozyme**: This enzyme is present in saliva and has antibacterial properties, but it does not digest proteins. 4. **Identify the Correct Enzyme**: The enzyme that is specifically mentioned as a proteolytic enzyme present in the gastric juice of infants is **Rennin** (also known as rennet). This enzyme helps in the digestion of milk protein, particularly casein, which is the main protein found in milk. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Rennin**. ### Final Answer: The proteolytic enzyme found in the gastric juice of infants that helps in the digestion of milk protein is **Rennin**. ---
