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.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
