(B) Enzymes are generally smaller than $DNA$ in molecular size. $DNA$ is a long polymer of nucleotides that carries the genetic information for the entire cell,whereas enzymes are specific proteins synthesized based on the instructions provided by a small segment of $DNA$ known as a gene. Since a gene (a segment of $DNA$) only codes for a single polypeptide chain (which forms an enzyme),the $DNA$ molecule itself is significantly larger and more complex than the individual enzyme protein it encodes.
