Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes do not increase the temperature of biological reactions themselves.

Increase in temperature of the medium is needed to speed up enzymatic activity but only to a specific point.

Enzymes require an optimum temperature which is the maximum amount of temperature needed to convert substrate to product per unit time.
