Enzymes are proteins with the ability to accelerate the speed of a reaction. That is to say, to transform substrates into products more quickly since they are not a reagent as such, they can be used over and over again throughout the reaction. Similarly, the effectiveness of enzymes will depend on which enzyme we are talking about, as some will perform better at high temperatures while others will not, as they will denature. Therefore, the answer is A.
