Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure does not depict nucleotide function, but rather a protein with two regulatory (R) subunits and two catalytic (C) subunits. These types of proteins are known as allosteric enzymes and are involved in the regulation of biological activity. Therefore, the best choice is D, biological activity regulation.
