Solution

The correct option is A retard the rate of a chemical reaction
Enzyme inhibitors are substances which change the catalytic action of the enzyme and consequently slow down(retard). There are three common types of enzyme inhibition - competitive, non-competitive and substrate inhibition.
Hence option A is correct.
