Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

We know that all biological reactions are catalysed by special catalysis called enzyme, thus enzymes are defined as biological proteins.

We also know that enzymes are small organic molecules which are weakly held to the protein and can be easily sepertated by dialysis.

Therefore chemically all enzymes are globular proteins.
