Answer:

Answer is C. By changing the shape of protein.

Explanation:

The site where the substrate binds and the chemical reaction take place is known as the active site.

Note that , if there is changes in the pH, it can affect the active site of the amino acid residue which usually have acidic or basic properties that is important for catalysis, thereby making it hard for substrate to bind.
