Rennin is an aspartic endopeptidase belonging to MEROPS A1 family. It is produced by newborn ruminant animals in the lining of the abomasum to curdle the milk they ingest, allowing a longer residence in the bowels and better absorption. It is widely used in the production of cheese. Lactase is an enzyme produced by many organisms. Lactase can be purchased as a food supplement, and is added to milk to produce "lactose-free" milk products. Lactase is the enzymes that splits lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose. The enzymes necessary to break down and digest milk (rennin and lactase) are all gone by the age of three in most humans.
So the correct option is 'three'.
