Nucleases work in the
A
esophagus
B
large intestine
C
stomacn
D
small intestine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatic enzymes called ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease break down RNA and DNA, respectively, into smaller nucleic acids. These, in turn, are further broken down into nitrogen bases and sugars by small intestine enzymes called nucleases.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleic acids DNA and RNA are found in most of the foods you eat. Two types of pancreatic nuclease are responsible for their digestion: deoxyribonuclease, which digests DNA, and ribonuclease, which digests RNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some other common enzymes are made in the small intestine, including: Lactase (breaks down lactose) Sucrase (breaks down sucrose)

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleases cleave the phosphodiester bonds of nucleic acids and may be endo or exo, DNases or RNases, topoisomerases, recombinases, ribozymes, or RNA splicing enzymes.
