Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is that the substrate A will not fit into an active site (C) of the enzyme as the physical shape of the enzyme has changed.

Explanation:

The enzymes have an active site where the reactants come and attach themselves by temporary bonds. These substances are then modified by an enzyme to form the product.

Then the temporary bonds are broken and product is released. But, a change in pH changes the whole shape of the enzyme. So, the active site is now gone, which leads to non-attachment of the substrates.
