Trypsin - cuts after Arg or Lys, unless followed by Pro.

Chymotrypsin - cuts after Phe, Trp, or Tyr, unless followed by Pro. Cuts more slowly after Asn, His, Met or Leu.

Elastase - cuts after Ala, Gly, Ser, or Val, unless followed by Pro.

Pepsin - cuts *before* Leu, Phe, Trp or Tyr, unless *preceded* by Pro.

Therefore it is A.
