{'enzymes': [3, 0, 6, 3], 'enzyme': [8, 0, 2, 0], 'proteins': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'protein': [2, 0, 2, 1]}

Option 2 is the correct answer, which states that "All enzymes are protein" and "All proteins are not enzyme". This means that enzymes are a subset of proteins, but not all proteins are enzymes.

Let`s analyze each option to understand why they are correct or incorrect:

Option 1 states that "All proteins are enzyme". This statement is incorrect because not all proteins possess enzymatic activity. Many proteins have structural or regulatory functions and do not catalyze chemical reactions.

Option 2 states that "All enzymes are protein". This statement is correct. Enzymes are proteins that act as biocatalysts, facilitating chemical reactions within living organisms.

Option 3 states that "All enzymes are not protein". This statement is incorrect as it contradicts option 2, which establishes that enzymes are indeed proteins.

Option 4 states that "All proteins are not enzyme". This statement is correct. As mentioned earlier, not all proteins have enzymatic functions. Some proteins have other roles, such as providing structure or aiding in cellular processes.

In conclusion, option 2 is the correct answer as it accurately describes the relationship between enzymes and proteins.
