Answer:

D. activation energy

Step-by-step explanation:

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction. Activation energy is the initial amount of energy needed to set a reaction into motion. Catalysts, including enzymes, can lower the activation energy to speed up reactions and make them easier to initiate.
