Solution

The correct option is E Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten
In a mathematical description of enzyme action developed by Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten in 1913, two constants play an important role. This point is reached when there are enough substrate molecules to completely fill (saturate) the enzyme's active sites.
So E is the correct option.
