vaieri [72.5K]
Homeostasis is the natural state of equilibrium; the body attempts to maintain this equilibrium by constantly reacting to external forces that attempt to disrupt the fine balance. It involves the maintenance of the internal environment constant, this involves conditions such as blood sugar, body temperature, among other factors that enhance functions in the body. Through homeostasis organisms tend to resist changes in order to maintain a stable, and a constant internal environment.

Some proteins catalyze biochemical reactions. If a genetic defect prevented a protein catalyst from being produced which of the
Maslowich
I believe option B would be the correct choice because, without a catalyst, the reaction will be either too slow or will not happen at all as it would not acquire a fitting activation energy for the reaction. 
If you would like to know why the other options are incorrect, please read on: 
Option A is incorrect because since proteins are specific in nature, so other protein cannot be replaced, for some other chemical reaction. 
Option C is not correct it is a genetic defect that the protein does not form, and all cells are genetically identical, a reaction cannot take place in any parts of the body. 
And finally, option D would be wrong because if a forward reaction does not take place, a backwards reaction will not occur. 
I hope this answer has helped, and I apologise if somehow this answer finds itself to be incorrect. Good luck on your quiz or homework. :)
