b — To speed up chemical reactions.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy and increase reaction rates. They do not store genetic information (that’s DNA/RNA), provide structural support (that’s structural proteins, e.g., collagen), or transport oxygen (that’s proteins like hemoglobin).
