  • D. DNA helicase

Explanation

DNA helicase, since it is the only one whose final destination is inside the cell. These Helicases come under the class of enzymes that are essential to all organisms. These are motor proteins that move directionally along with the nucleic acid, separating two hybridized nucleic acid strands, using the energy from ATP hydrolysis. Their role or function is to unpack an organism's genetic material.
