Solution
The correct option is C Product Allosteric enzymes are those that have two binding sites. One binding site is called effector site that binds to the substrate while the other is called the allosteric site that binds to the inhibitor. When the concentration of the products increase, they bind to the allosteric site and would decrease the rate of an allosteric enzyme action.
