The correct answer is: **Enzymes function best at a specific temperature.**
This statement highlights the importance of maintaining a stable body temperature, as enzymes typically have optimal temperatures at which they function most efficiently. The human body's average temperature of around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit ensures that enzymes can catalyze reactions effectively, supporting various biochemical processes necessary for life.
