Solution
The correct option is D Coenzyme Coenzyme is an organic substance essential for the activity of an enzyme. It itself cannot catalyze the reaction. However, it binds to apoenzyme (inactive form) and converts it into holoenzyme (active form). thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), biotin are examples of coenzymes.
