Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Co-enzymes are also organic compounds but their association with the apoenzyme is only transient, usually occurring during the course of catalysis. Co-enzymes serve as co-factors in a number of different enzyme catalysed reactions. The essential chemical components of many coenzymes are vitamins,e.g., coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NADP contain the vitamin niacin.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
