2. The presence of the competitive inhibitor decreases the Km of the enzyme for the substrate.
3. A competitive inhibitor reacts reversibly with the enzyme to form an enzyme-inhibitor complex.
4. In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor molecule is not chemically changed by the enzyme.

Select the option which is not correct with respect to enzyme action.
