Having a low-grade fever of $100^\circ$ to $102^\circ F$ is a common side effect of a bacterial infection. Which of the following statements provides the most reasonable explanation for why this could be beneficial?
It is doubtful that a change in body temperature would have any effect on the bacteria living inside the body.
An increase in body temperature causes enzymes to break down more substrate.
An increase in body temperature could denature enzymes in heat sensitive bacteria without denaturing the enzymes of the person with the infection.
An increase in body temperature causes the bacteria to multiply faster within the body, but they do less damage at the higher temperature.
