Hydrolytic enzymes which act on low pH are called as

1. proteases
2. α-amylases
3. hydrolases
4. peroxidases

Correct answer: hydrolases

Solution

Hydrolytic enzymes catalyze bond cleavage by adding water, and this reaction type defines the hydrolase class. The other options are specific enzyme groups or a different reaction type, not the general class for hydrolysis.
