Solution

The correct option is B
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

A catalyst forms a substrate-enzyme complex due to which the activation energy of the reaction is lowered as shown in the figure. This, in turn, increases the rate of the reaction, thus accelerating it.

Hence both the statements are correct and Statement 2 justifies Statement 1
