Solution

The correct answer is a. Exonucleases, Endonucleases.

Exonucleases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of nucleotides from the ends of DNA or RNA molecules. They can work in either the 5' to 3' direction or the 3' to 5' direction.

On the other hand, Endonucleases are enzymes that can recognize specific base sequences (restriction sites) within DNA or RNA molecules and cleave internal phosphodiester bonds within a DNA molecule. This means they cut the DNA from the inside, not from the ends.
