The Option C is correct.

  • C) A reaction rate can be increased when the specific enzyme for a biological reaction is present.

By increasing the enzyme concentration, the maximum reaction rate greatly increases.

Conclusions:

The rate of a chemical reaction increases as the substrate concentration increases. Enzymes can greatly speed up the rate of a reaction. However, enzymes become saturated when the substrate concentration is high.
