Best answer
Right option is (c) Reaction specificity

Explanation: Reaction specificity is one in which the enzyme is specific to a particular reaction, but not substrate and catalyzes only one type of reaction. Substrate specificity is one in which the enzyme acts more than one substrate. Group, Bond and Broad substrate specificity are part of substrate specificity, whereas reaction specificity is not.
