Why does the catalase work the best at basic solution?

Details: Hey guys. So I conducted an catalase activity experiment at school.We measured the speed of catalase activity on the disassembling of H2O2 solution. The independent variable was pH level, and the levels were 4, 6, and 10. The internet says that the catalase works best pH 7, but ironically, the catalase worked the best at pH10 in my experiment. Now I have to write Claim-Evidence-Reasoning, but I can't think of an appropriate reasoning because the result was different from what is on the internet. Can anyone explain why the catalase worked best at pH 10?
