Solution

The statement that best describes the principle of feedback inhibition in metabolic regulation is: "The final product of a pathway inhibits the action of earlier enzymes in the pathway". This is because in feedback inhibition, the end product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within that pathway, thus controlling the rate of reaction and preventing the over-accumulation of the product.
