- (D)(A), (B), (C) only
Answer: (C)
Solution
Statement (A) is correct: enzyme inhibitors can be competitive or non-competitive. Statement (B) is correct: competitive inhibitors bind at the active site, while non-competitive inhibitors bind at allosteric sites. Statement (C) is incorrect: competitive drugs block the active site, not the allosteric site. Statement (D) is incorrect: non-competitive drugs bind at allosteric sites, not the active site. Therefore, only statements (A) and (B) are correct.
