Correct answer is (a) True

To explain I would say: Thee above statement is true. Induced fit model proposes conformational changes in the enzyme upon binding with substrate without affecting primary structure in turn forming ES complex leading to form products. In induced fit model, only substrate binding site is freely accessible and not the catalytic site. Hence, only one substrate can bind and produce desirable reaction.
