D) d

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Activation energy is the energy required to initiate a chemical reaction. In the figure, the activation energy required for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction is shown by the difference between the energy level of the reactants and the transition state. Option B shows the correct activation energy required for this reaction.
