Catalysts affect the chemical reactions that take place within the body. what function do catalysts perform in chemical reactions?

Acatalysts slow down the rate of chemical reactions.
Bcatalysts are always formed by chemical reactions.
Ccatalysts are used up during a chemical reaction.
Dcatalysts lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction.

Verified Answer :

DCatalysts lower the activation energy. Activation energy is basically the barrier towards the rate of reaction. Catalysts lower this barrier and thereby increases the rate of the reaction.
Hope this helps.
