Correct option is (a) Arrhenius equation

Explanation: The Arrhenius equation is given by  k = \(Ae^{\frac{-∆G}{RT}}\)

Where k = kinetic rate constant, A = Arrhenius constant, ΔG = standard free energy of activation (kJ M^-1), R = universal gas constant and T = absolute temperature.

Rate of all the enzyme catalyzed reaction with an increase in temperature is given by the Arrhenius equation. Miachelis Menton equation and Lineweaver Burk equation represents enzyme activity whereas Half-life represents the time at enzyme activity is reduced to half.
