In the Lineweaver-Burk plot of (initial rate) ${ }^{-1}$ vs. (initial substrate concentration) ${ }^{-1}$ for an enzyme catalysed reaction following Michaelis-Menten mechanism, the y-intercept is $5000 \mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{s}$. If the initial enzyme concentration is $1 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{M}$, the turnover number
(a)$2.5 \times 10^{3}$
(b)$1.0 \times 10^{4}$
(c)$2.5 \times 10^{4}$
(d)$2.0 \times 10^{5}$
