Which influence on reaction rate arises when an enzyme's active site stabilizes the transition state?

A)Decreased activation energy is observed
B)Increased concentration of reactants occurs
C)A higher reaction temperature results
D)Equilibrium constant value increases more

💡 Explanation

Enzymes catalyze reactions via transition state stabilization: this lowers the *activation energy* because the enzyme provides a lower energy path, therefore reaction rate constants increase rather than alternative direct effects like simple changes in equilbrium.
