homework - Digestion of milk in humans


The intial step in the digestion of milk in humans is carried out by which of the following enzymes?


A) lipase.


B) trypsin.


C) rennin.


D) pepsin.


I'm confused between the C and D option. as it's not specified whether they're asking about adult humans only or humans in general (where infancy also included), which between pepsin or rennin will be the answer for this question?


I know that in infants the milk digestion is initiated by rennin and in case of adults due to its absence it's carried out by pepsin. Which is the correct option for that question?
