So I understand how C is the best answer completely, however, isn't A correct as well? The text above the graph says the activity was measured at 37 C. Then they heated it up, let it cool back to 37 C then measured activity again. Since the activity didn't return to normal doesn't that mean the denaturing was irreversible?
 
a is false because if you look at the graphs, you see that the lines go down and up constantly. so basically just because the lines dont go back up to the same as it was at the start doesnt mean that its not reversible. if the activity never went back up at all then yes you would be correct.

If I remember correctly, there is a table (table 2) after this graph with protein-folding data. Figure 1 strictly assesses enzymatic activity. You need to be cognizant of the objective of each experiment and keep everything in context.

Attempting to glean protein-folding info from an activity assay is analogous to attempting to find literary themes in a math problem.
