Answer:

Option D) A transition state and a reaction intermediate are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

A transition state and a reaction intermediate are the not same. The transition state represents the highest energy in the steps of a reaction, whereas an intermediate, on the other hand, is represented by the lowest energy minimum in a reaction.
