  2. A and R both are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.

  3. A is correct and R is incorrect.

  4. A is incorrect and R is correct.

  5. A and R both are incorrect.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Most biological substrates lose their biological function when denatured because the substrates can no longer bind to the active site. The denaturing process and the associated loss of activity can be measured using techniques like dual polarisation interferometry.
