Immobilization of enzymes
(P) increases the specificity of the enzyme for its reactants
(Q) facilitates reuse of the enzyme in batch reactions
(R) makes it unsuitable for its use in a continuous reactor system
(S) decreases the operational cost of the industrial process

Correct Option: A
The immobilized enzyme is easily removed from the reaction making it easy to recycle the biocatalyst. Immobilized enzymes typically have greater thermal and operational stability than the soluble form of the enzyme. This reduces the operational cost.
