Explanation / Answer

option B) Design and run an experiment testing the ability of the enzyme amylase to digest its substrate, starch, at different temperatures is the correct option. By conducting this experiment, the effect of temperature on enzyme activity can be recorded in terms of an increase or decrease in enzyme activity (the amount of substrate that is converted into product within a specified time, moles/sec or moles/unit or catals) can be plotted on a graph and optimum temperature for enzyme activity can be determined.

Other options cannot be used.
