@sweet27 No, a SUBSTRATE fits into the ENZYME at the active site.  I hope that you have simply switched it and this is not the actually question.

It is B. This is because the substrate kind of fits so some bonds are formed.  This causes a shape change in the enzyme and the substrate fits better.  Don't know how to get you to the correct answer without just telling it to you.
