The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
A coenzyme or metal ion that is very tightly or covalently bound to the enzyme protein is called prosthetic group. A holoenzyme is a complete, catalytically active enzyme together with its bound coenzyme and/or metal ions. Apoprotein is the protein part of the holoenzyme. The assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
So, the correct answer is option C.
