Solution

The correct option is C Coenzyme
A coenzyme is an organic carrier molecule which cooperates with a particular enzyme in promoting a chemical reaction in a cell. They are generally formed from the nucleotides by replacing the nitrogenous base group with some vitamin. They are loosely attached to the enzyme and are easily separable from them. For example the coenzymes, NAD and FAD contain nicotinamide and flavin in them. The enzyme catalyses the removal of a group of atoms whereas coenzyme affects its transfer
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
