The correct answer is: Enzymes are least reactive at optimum temperature
Most of the enzymes have proteinous nature. They are highly specific and get denaturated by high temperature or UV rays. At optimum temperature, which is generally in between $25^{\circ}-35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, enzyme activity is maximum.
