Right option is (a) Anhydrous enzyme suspended in the organic solvent

Explanation: The diagram shows schematic representation of anhydrous enzyme suspended in the organic solvent. Using enzymes with organic solvent, results in a two phase system as enzymes possess a significant amount of strongly bound water. In the diagram, it is shown that the enzyme is surrounded by thin interphase consisting of water or water plus immobilization support.
