Since I don't know the options you have
those are the factors I know
I would go for B, because it is informing other scientists that could've been working on the same subject that here is a possible solution
Vmax is the highest rate of reaction of an enzyme catalyzed reaction and Km is the concentration of substrate required to achieve half of Vmax.
Because there is an inhibitor, Vmax will decrease; however, due to the non-competitive nature of the inhibitor, concentration of the substrate will not make a difference so Km will be unchanged.
The answer is C.<span />
