Answer:

The correct answer is competitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of the enzyme causing the substrate to be unable to interact properly with it. It's called competitive because it competes with the substrate to interact with the enzyme. Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site changing the shape of the enzyme.
