Solution

The correct option is A to lower the activation energy of the reaction

Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction. It alters the pathway but doesn't take part in the reaction.
