The correct answer is: **Enzymes function best at a specific temperature.**
This statement describes the connection between the human body temperature and the role of enzymes, as enzymes generally have optimal temperature ranges in which they function most effectively. The average body temperature of around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is conducive to many enzymatic reactions necessary for bodily functions.
