I : $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ is indicative of the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate.
II : A high $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ indicates high affinity for substrate binding.
III : $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ is a measure of the substrate concentration required for effective catalysis to occur.

The correct statements are:

  • A
    only I and II
  • B
    only II and III
  • Correct answer
    C
    only I and III
