Solution

The correct option is D Lowering the activation energy of the reaction
Enzymes accelerate chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. They cannot increase or decrease the temperature of the biochemical reaction. But the activity of an enzyme can be affected by a change in the temperature or pH.
