The correct response is:
The rate of a chemical reaction initially increases with increasing temperature and then decreases, eventually stopping, when the temperature gets too high.
This statement accurately reflects the general trend observed in enzyme activity and many chemical reactions, where increasing temperature typically enhances reaction rates up to an optimal point, after which the enzyme may denature and the reaction rate decreases.
