Solution

The correct option is B False
Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value, that is the point where the enzyme is most active, is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes. However the optimum is not neutral for all the enzymes and it varies from one enzyme to another.
