Solution

The correct option is B competitive
Competitive Inhibitor - A competitive inhibitor is any compound which closely resembles the chemical structure and molecular geometry of the substrate.
Non-competitive Inhibitor - A non-competitive inhibitor is a substance that interacts with the enzyme, but usually not at the active site. The noncompetitive inhibitor reacts either remote from or very close to the active site.
