Solution
The correct option is D Proteins Enzymes are biological catalysts. Biological means the substance in question is produced or is derived from some living organism.
Catalyst denotes a substance that has the ability to increase the rate of a chemical reaction, and is not changed or destroyed by the chemical reaction that it accelerates. And most enzymes are proteins, so proteins act as biological catalysts.
