    A. When binding to isocitrate dehydrogenase, ADP decreases the Km for isocitrate.

    Explanation:

    when ADP decreases the Km, it causes isocitrate dehydrogenase to have higher affinity for its substrate and as such can attain Vmax (The rate of reaction when the enzyme is saturated with substrate is the maximum rate of reaction) easily and faster, that is activation.
