Read the following reactions and choose the correct option:
$Pepsinogen {}\overset{HCl}{\rightarrow}Pepsin$
$Proteins{}\overset{pepsinogen}{\rightarrow}Proteoses + Peptones$
$Trypsinogen{}\overset{HCl}{\rightarrow}Trypsin$
$Chymotrypsinogen  {}\overset{enterokinase}{\rightarrow}Chymotrypsin$
$Peptones{}\overset{trypsin}{\rightarrow}Dipeptides$
