The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks down the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, making it effective for isolating DNA from bacterial cells. Cellulase degrades plant cell walls, protease breaks down proteins, and ribonuclease degrades RNA, none of which are suitable for this purpose.
