Solution

The correct option is A 8
Enzymatic activity depends on specific pH. pH at which the enzyme has maximum activity is known as optimum pH. The change in pH changes the shape of the enzyme which prevents the attachment of the substrate at the active site and terminates the reaction. Trypsin works in the small intestine and works at optimum pH of 8 to 8.5.
