it consists of amino acids which are adjacent to each other (residue number)

none of the above

it consists of amino acids which not adjacent to each other (residue number)

it consists of the N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids

it consists of amino acids which are adjacent to each other (residue number)

none of the above

it consists of amino acids which not adjacent to each other (residue number)

it consists of the N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids

Explanation / Answer

it consists of amino acids which not adjacent to each other (residue number)

This imparts specificity to the enzyme, such that only a particular substrate can be affected by the enzyme. If the amino acids where adjacent this specificity would not have been present.
