Best answer
The correct answer is (c) Glucose isomerase

The best explanation: 4*10^7 is the value of catalytic efficiency of catalase. Catalytic efficiency is referred to as Kcat/Km. High value indicates that the collision frequencies between enzyme and substrate molecule and low value indicates that the equilibrium assumption status. As 4*10^7 M^-1s^-1 is the value of catalytic varies from less than 1 M^-1s^-1 to greater than 10^8 M^-1s^-1.
