Which of the following is an example of an allosteric enzyme?

Hemoglobin is the accurate response regarding enzymatic activity or regulation described in this question. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate reactions by lowering activation energy through specific substrate binding and transition state stabilization. In the context of Enzymes Basics, Hemoglobin plays a specific catalytic or regulatory role determined by its active site configuration and mechanism of action. The other options (DNA polymerase, Hexokinase, and Carbonic anhydrase) are either different enzymes with distinct substrate specificities, act through different mechanisms,
