Correct answer: (D) Enzymes affect neither ΔG nor Keq.
Explanation
An enzyme changes the kinetic pathway and lowers activation barriers, accelerating approach to equilibrium. It does not change the free energies of reactant and product states, so reaction ΔG and the thermodynamic equilibrium constant remain unchanged at fixed conditions. Thus D.
