The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Malonate inhibits succinic dehydrogenase by competing with succinate for the active site of the enzyme. This is an example of competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor resembles the substrate and directly competes for binding to the enzyme’s active site.

Thus, the correct answer is (3) Competitive inhibition.
