Solution

The correct option is D Transmembrane enzyme
Cytochrome oxidase is a membrane-associated enzyme which drives final step in the respiratory electron transfer chain. It is a large transmembrane complex usually found in bacteria and mitochondria of eukaryotes. It receives the electron from other cytochrome and finally transfers it to oxygen to form a water molecule. So, answer B is correct.
