b. They decrease the GTPase activity of the G-protein.

Answer:

None of the above.

Explanation:

GTPases are the regulatory proteins that are involved in the signal transduction pathway involving the activation of the G protein. The mutation in these proteins cal lead to cancer cells.

The guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) allows the replacement of GDP by GTP. They activates the GTPase activity of the cell and can also activate the multiple GTPase activity of the cell. The Ras superfamily is activated by the GEF.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
