d. consumed entirely as a rxn proceeds but reform magically at th end

because enzymes are not consumed at all, and they don't change the delta G or energy of the reaction, they only lower the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur spontaneously at a faster rate

to above poster, i think it is yes

organic special proteins that furnish conditions favorable for a rxn to proceed more rapidly, thus equalibrium is reached more quickly.
