Correct Answer � A
Explanation

Answer- A
The enzyme attaches to the active site of the substrate.
The ratio of enzyme to substrate molecules can be as high as 1: 100,000. If the amount of substrate increases more than this, it will not get the vacant active site for attachment which terminates the reaction.
