Best answer
Correct choice is (d) Bases

The best I can explain: Bases catalyze the reaction by accepting a proton, whereas acid by donating a proton. Enzymes are biological catalyst which increases the rate of the reaction, without undergoing any change in itself. Entrapment is an immobilization method that entraps enzyme in a confined space.
