To increase the rate of a reaction, especially if enzymes are involved, the best response among the options given would typically be:
b) Increase the amount of enzymes.
Increasing the amount of enzymes can increase the reaction rate, as more enzyme molecules can facilitate the conversion of substrates into products, assuming there are sufficient reactants available and that the environment is conducive to enzyme activity (such as appropriate temperature and pH).
While changing temperature can also affect reaction rates, it is not specified whether higher or lower temperatures are favorable in this context, and excessively high temperatures could denature the enzymes. Therefore, without specific context, option b is the most direct and generally effective choice for increasing the reaction rate.
