Which statement about enzymes is not correct?
- A. Enzymes are in colloidal state

- C. Enzymes can catalyse any reaction.

Step-by-step solution
Enzymes are highly specific biocatalysts; each enzyme typically catalyzes only one or a few related reactions. Statement C is false because enzymes cannot catalyze any reaction indiscriminately. The other statements are generally correct: enzymes are often in colloidal state (A), they are catalysts (B), and urease is an enzyme (D, though wording is awkward).
