    Km increases but Vmax remains the same in competitive inhibition. This is because, on slightly increasing the substrate concentration, the effect of inhibitor is removed.

    Correct Option: C

    Inhibitions of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of competitive inhibition. Thus it is a reversible reaction. On increasing the substrate (succinate) concentration the effect of inhibitor is removed and Vmax remains same.

    Correct Option: B

    Inhibitions of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of competitive inhibition. Thus it is a reversible reaction. On increasing the substrate (succinate) concentration the effect of inhibitor is removed and Vmax remains same.
