Solution

The correct option is C Specificity
Enzyme specificity is essential because it keeps separate the many pathways, involving hundreds of enzymes, that function during metabolism. Not all enzymes are highly specific. An enzyme, therefore, catalyzes a specific chemical reaction but may be able to do so on several similar compounds.
Therefore C is the correct option.
