The answer is D. I call this the "PAC-man complex"

Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Enzymes are bio catalyst that increase the rate of the biochemical reactions of the living organism. Enzymes does not change the equilibrium of the reaction.

The enzymes converts the substrate into the product. The enzymes binds to the active site of the substrate and forms the enzymes substrate complex. This enzyme substrate complex formation is important for the formation of the particular product.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
