Option C is incorrect as the Phytochemicals are not found to activate cancer instead, they reduce the risk of cancer formation.

The answer is c. inhibit the activity of enzymes to activate carcinogens.

2. Flavonoids are categorized under antioxidant polyphenol, responsible for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. They are found to improve and maintain vascular endothelial functioning. Tannins prevent inflammation, diarrhea and act as a diuretic. Curcumin and tannins are found to have anti-cancer properties. Ellagic acid has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, cardioprotective properties. Sulfides have antitumor activities, detoxes liver enzymes lower cholesterol. Limonene detoxifies the liver. Saponins are anticancerous and lowering blood cholesterol.
