Solution

The correct option is C Zn++
Alcoholic dehydrogenase is an enzyme required during the anaerobic respiration to convert the aldehyde to the ethanol. Its activity is enhanced by the presence of Zn++ ions that allow NADPH to combine for oxidation to NADP.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Zn++'.
