Solution

The answer is a. reversible non-competitive inhibitor.

Here's why:

Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that interact in some way with the enzyme to prevent it from working in the normal manner. There are a variety of types of inhibitors including: nonspecific, irreversible, reversible - competitive and noncompetitive.

a. Reversible non-competitive inhibitors bind to an enzyme at a location other than the active site. This is known as the allosteric site. When the inhibitor binds to this site,
