Correct Answer: catalyst


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

The term "catalyst" is a general term for a substance that facilitates a chemical reaction without undergoing a permanent change, making it the most appropriate choice in this context.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • A reactant is a substance participating in a chemical reaction.
  • Enzymes are biological catalysts, specific to biological systems.
  • A solute is a substance dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.

Therefore, the sentence is: "Kidney beans were boiled quickly when Nisha added a catalyst."
