The correct option is D. pH and temperature

Enzymes can be denatured in different ways:

-decreases in pH

- increase beyond the optimal temperature

A denatured enzyme refers to an enzyme that has lost its normal three-dimensional, or tertiary, structure that means it is no longer able to function.
