A solution of enzyme A has a pH of 8. Based on the graph, which pH change would result in higher enzyme activity

Based on the graph, a pH change to a lower value (closer to the enzyme's optimum pH) would result in higher enzyme activity. Enzymes generally have an optimum pH at which they function most efficiently. The pH of the solution is 8, but the optimum pH for enzyme A is at 7. So, a decrease in the pH from 8 to 7 would result in higher enzyme activity.
