The plot shows rate of reaction of an enzyme as a function of the concentration of substrate. At stage B, the rate flattens and becomes constant, which means there's too much substrate for the enzyme to handle. So the fourth statement is false - the rate of reaction cannot be increasing.

Answer:

Whats going on is that you have a specific amount of enzyme that can do a specific amount of work. Think of it like a hotdog stand. the enzyme would be you and your substrats are your hot dogs and buns. You can only go as fast as the materials you have. If you have more materials than hands you can only go as fast as you can make them. To many substrates and you enzyme rate will cap out at maximum speed.
