Best answer
Correct answer is (a) Isoenzyme

To explain I would say: Isoenzymes are the enzymes that catalyze the same reactions but are different from their control characteristics. Poisons are the substances which decrease the enzymatic activity. Isotopes have the same proton number and do not catalyze a reaction. Alloenzymes differ structurally and not functionally.
