Explanation:

Catechol - O - methyltransferase (COMT) is an enzyme that plays a role in the metabolism of catecholamine neurotransmitters. Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter, and COMT is involved in its breakdown. Serotonin is a monoamine but not a catecholamine, acetylcholine has a different structure and metabolism pathway, and glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter with a different metabolic process. So the enzyme COMT is involved in the metabolism of dopamine.

Answer:

B. Dopamine
