Answer:
b. 30-40 degrees C
Explanation:
Enzymes are proteins. Proteins generally get denatured at temperatures above 40 C, so option c is the right answer. Since most mammals have body temperatures between 36-40 C, the enzymes must function the best in this range of temperatures. There are some bacteria that live in hot springs for whom 70-80 C could be the optimum temperature, but in general it lies between 30-40 C for most enzymes.
Hope this helps!
