D
pancreas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatic juice is a liquid secreted by the pancreas, which contains a number of digestive enzymes, including trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, elastase, carboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase, nucleases and amylase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleases are found in both animals and plants. Restriction enzymes are nucleases that split only those DNA molecules in which they recognize particular subunits.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nucleotidase is a hydrolytic protein that isn’t found in human pancreatic juice. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of a nucleotide into a nucleoside and phosphate, and spleen. So, the correct answer is ‘Nucleotidase’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclease is an enzyme that cleaves phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides in nucleic acids. Nucleases in the pancreatic juice act on nucleic acids to form nucleotides and nucleosides.
