I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The role of enzymes as catalysts in living systems is that they  accelerate chemical reactions without getting used up in the process. Enzymes hasten chemical reactions by providing alternative path for the reaction.

The answer is A, they accelerate without being used up Explanation:"Enzymes aren't changed or used up in the reactions they catalyze, so they can be used to speed up the same reaction over and over again."

Enzymes are catalysts that can be used more than once. If a substance needs to get broken down then it can use the corresponding enzyme to attach itself and break it down into simpler substances. After this is gone, the next substance might come up and attach itself to the enzyme like a lock-and-key model.Therefore the answer is A) Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions without getting used up in the process.
