Answer:

D. Catalase is an enzyme, O₂ and H₂O are products, and H₂O₂ is a substrate.

Explanation:

As per the given reaction the compound (H₂O₂) on the left side of the equation is the  reactant or substrate and the two compounds (O₂ and H₂O₂ )on the right side is the product. Catalase is neither a reactant nor product, it is a catalyst. The role of a catalyst is to accelerate the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction without itself undergoing any change.
