Chymotrypsin generally cleaves at carboxyl side of aromatic amino acids residues (Tryptophan, Tyrosine & Phenylalanine) and proline residue's must absent just after aromatic amino acids residues.

Cleaves at carboxy terminal of tyrosine tryptophan phenylalanine and leucine.

Chymotrypsin also cleaves at the carboxyl-terminal of methionine residues! So none of these are correct.
