Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The extreme temperatures lead to the unfolding of a polypeptide chain resulting in a change in composition and generally a loss of function. If the protein working as an enzyme denatures, it will make that protein to lose its enzymatic activity.
