Solution

The correct option is B Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
An enzyme mediated reaction stops when the substrate/substance is removed from the reaction mixture. As enzymes are substrate specific.
Apoenzyme is the inactive part of the enzyme that gets activated when attached to a cofactor. Apoenzyme and a cofactor together form the holoenzyme or the active enzyme
So, the correct answer is 'Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion'
