Answer:

A: lower, speed

Explanation:

Enzymes definitely speed up chemical reactions because they are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysts speed up reactions without being used up themselves. They are reusable.

Lowering the activation energy makes the reaction faster because less energy is required to do the same task.

B and C do not make sense because speed activation energy doesn't make sense and slow up doesn't make sense either.
