Answer:

Increase the enzyme concentration

Explanation:

All enzymes have an optimum temperature and pH at which they work best.

If an enzyme has been provided with optimum temperature, optimum pH and substrate then very little can be doe to increase the rate of reaction. In the end, increasing the enzyme concentration might help.

Addition of allosteric activators might also help. As an enzyme can be further activated by an activator molecule.

Apart from this, increasing enzyme concentration is the only option.
