Answer:

B. Enzymes decrease the activation energy of the reaction :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.
