Answer:

a) allosteric site

Step-by-step explanation:

An allosteric site is a site on an enzyme other than the active site where a molecule that is not a substrate binds. This changes the shape of the enzyme, making it harder for the substrate to bind and inhibits enzyme activity.

Hope that helps.
