Answer:

Option B, Molecules can be brought together so they can bond more easily.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes are chemicals that have the ability to lower the activation energy requirement of any chemical reaction. Enzymes reduces the activation energy of a chemical reaction by either breaking the bigger molecule into two molecules or bringing together two smaller molecules to unite them.

Thus, enzyme are able to lower the activation energy of any chemical reaction.

Option B is correct
