The figure above represents a reaction with a fixed enzyme concentration. As the concentration of substrate increases, the graph eventually levels off and reaches a plateau. Which of the following statements best describes the reason for this?
A) As the reaction proceeds, the enzyme is broken down by the substrate until no enzyme is left to continue the reaction.
B) As the reaction proceeds, all of the active sites of the enzyme become saturated such that a maximum catalytic rate is reached.
C) As the reaction proceeds, the product begins to occupy the active site of the enzyme such that a maximum catalytic rate is reached.
D) As the reaction proceeds, the enzyme is denatured due to the increased levels of product being formed.
