Explanation

Option A is correct because when substrate concentration is higher than enzyme concentration, adding more substrate increases enzyme activity. Option B is incorrect as enzyme quantity exceeding substrate would not increase activity by adding substrate. Option C is irrelevant since product levels do not directly increase enzyme activity. Option D is incorrect because failure to form the enzyme-substrate complex would reduce activity.
