Vedclass · Answer

(A) Enzymes are biological catalysts that are primarily proteinaceous in nature. They exhibit maximum activity at the physiological temperature of the body (approximately $37^{\circ}C$). While some enzymes may contain non-protein components (cofactors),they are not classified as carbohydrates or nucleic acids. Therefore,the statement that they show maximum activity at body temperature is the correct characteristic.
