Solution

(a) Assertion and reason both are correct and reason explains assertion. In presence of enzyme, substrate molecule can be attacked by a reagent effectively because active sites of enzymes hold the substrate molecule in a suitable position. So, enzyme catalysed reactions are stereospecific reactions.
