Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note:

Enzymes can only be denatured but not killed as enzyme is not a living thing that can be said to be alive

temperature and pH may change the 3D shape of an enzyme, this destroy the active site of the enzyme thereby reducing its activity.
