Answer:

Option A, only to the enzyme; only to the enzyme-substrate complex

Step-by-step explanation:

In un competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to an allosteric site of a enzyme which is usually present at the enzymes substrate complex.

While in competitive inhibition, an inhibitor binds to the enzyme at its active site and hence restricts the substrate from binding

Hence, option A is correct
