Detailed Solution

Concept:We are aware that each digestive enzyme serves a specific purpose in our body and carries out a number of tasks. One enzyme's absence would have a significant impact on our body.
The small intestine contains enterokinase, and the digestive system as a whole would suffer greatly if it were absent. In the first section of the small digestive tract, trypsin plays a critical role in the absorption of proteins. It causes many proteases to be active in pancreatic juice. Thus, the cycle of dipeptide to amino acid conversion will be affected if enterokinase is absent.
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
