Solution

The correct option is C Cell membrane
Cyclic AMP or cAMP is an important second messenger in signal transduction. Enzyme adenylyl cyclase is activated and inhibited by G proteins. Once activated, it carries out cyclization of ATP into cAMP. This enzyme is present in the cell membrane of the cell. The cAMP then activates specific proteins.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Cell membrane.'
