Answer #1

D. Lysozyme.

Lysozymes cleave the beta-1, 4 linkage between sugar molecules and is more effective against gram-positive bacteria. Because the peptidoglycan cell wall is exposed out well in gram positive bacteria whereas gram negative bacteria have an outer lipopolysaccharide layer covering the peptidoglycan layer.
