Solution

The correct option is C Isoenzymes
Multiple molecular forms of an enzyme occurring in the same organism and having a similar substrate specificity are called isoenzymes. For e.g., lactic dehydrogenase has 5 isoenzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase has 4 isoenzymes etc. They help the organism in adapting to the various environments. Thus, the correct option is C.
