A peptide has the following amino acid composition: 2 Met, 2 Phe, 2 Glu, 1 Arg, 1 Lys, 1 Val, 1 Leu, 1 Gly, 1 Ser Reaction of the intact peptide with dansyl chloride followed by acid hydrolysis creates a derivative of Met. A specific cleavage of the intact peptide produces fragments with the following sequences: Fragment A: Glu-Gly-Lys-Phe Fragment B: Met-Ser-Leu-Arg Fragment C: Met-Val-Glu-Phe Which reagent was used for the specific cleavage?    Cyanogen bromide  Carboxypeptidase A  Trypsin  Chymotrypsin
