Answer: D. none of these

Explanation: A non competitive inhibitor is the one that binds to the enzyme away from the active site.

It changes the conformaion of the enzyme as well as that of the active site.

It does not increases the rate of the enzyme action.

It doesnot alter the primary structure of the enzyme.

Thus the given options for the non reversible inhibitor are not the correct ones.
