Solution

The correct option is C

Compounds similar to substrate inhibit enzyme activity


Enzymes form a 3-D conformation where the substrate binds and enzyme activity occurs.

This imparts specificity to enzymes.

If a compound has a structure similar to the substrate, then it can bind to the enzyme and inhibit enzyme activity.
