The correct answer is: **Enzymes function best at a specific temperature.**
This statement highlights the relationship between the body's maintained temperature and the optimal functioning of enzymes, which typically operate most effectively within a certain temperature range. If the temperature deviates too much from this optimal range, enzyme activity can be negatively affected.
