Correct answer
A. I .
Step-by-step solution
When the binding of the chemical shuts off enzyme activity, the process is called inhibition and the chemical is called an inhibitor. When the inhibitor closely resembles the substrate in its molecular structure and inhibits the activity of the enzyme, it is known as a competitive inhibitor. The inhibitor binds to the active site without changing the active site structure and affects the rate of reaction.
