Study the reaction given below
 
In absence of any enzyme this reaction is very slow, with 200 molecules of \(H_2CO_3\) being formed in an hour. In presence of enzyme the reaction speeds up dramatically with about 600,000 molecules formed every second. Name the enzyme which has accelerated up the reaction by 10 million times.
1. Ribozyme 
2. Carbonic anhydrase
3. Catalase 
4. Peroxidase
