The correct choice is (a) Batch membrane reactors

Easiest explanation: Batch membrane reactors are those in which the enzyme is held within membrane tubes allowing the substrates to diffuse in and the products to diffuse out. Continuous flow membrane reactor is continuous version of batch membrane reactors. Continuous Stirred tank batch reactors are continuous version of batch stirred tank reactors. Packed bed reactors are those in which there is tank containing a settled bed of immobilised enzyme particles.
