The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the most abundant enzyme. We need to evaluate the options provided. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Catalyst** - This is a general term for substances that speed up chemical reactions, but it is not a specific enzyme. - **Option 2: Rubisco** - This is an enzyme involved in the process of photosynthesis, specifically in the fixation of carbon dioxide. - **Option 3: Nitrogen** - This is an element, not an enzyme. - **Option 4: Invertase** - This is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose, but it is not the most abundant. 3. **Identifying the Most Abundant Enzyme**: Among the options, Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is known to be the most abundant enzyme on Earth. It plays a crucial role in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis by fixing carbon dioxide. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 2: Rubisco**.
