  1. Diazotation

  2. Phosphorylation

  3. Dehydrogenation

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Covalent bonding is one of the commonly used methods of enzyme immobilization which engages the formation of covalent bonds between the enzymes & the support. Diazotation is a method of convalent bonding which displays the bonding between the amino group of support & tyrosyl or histidyl group of enzyme. 
So, the correct answer is 'Diazotation'
