A decrease in enzyme concentration while keeping substrate concentration constant causes

A. An increase in Vmax
B. A decrease in the number of available active sites
C. Increased substrate affinity
D. Greater thermal stability of the enzyme

📝 Explanation

Fewer enzyme molecules mean fewer active sites are available for catalysis, reducing the reaction rate.
