Solution
The correct option is D Dehydrogenase Dehydrogenase is an enzyme which participates in the oxidoreductase reaction by using an electron acceptor. It is involved in the transfer of electrons because it oxidizes a substrate by reducing it which means it transfers the electron from the substrate to an electron acceptor. Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme which is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate.
