A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A reaction inhibitor is a substance that decreases the rate of, or prevents, a chemical reaction. A catalyst, in contrast, is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inhibitors. Enzyme inhibitors are compounds which modify the catalytic properties of the enzyme and, therefore, slow down the reaction rate, or in some cases, even stop the catalysis. Such inhibitors work by blocking or distorting the active site.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inhibitors An inhibitor is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inhibitors are compounds that cause enzymes to lose activity, either by slowing or stopping the chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -The noncompetitive inhibitor slows down the reaction rate, i.e. the rate of the product formation is less with inhibitor present than with inhibitor absent.
