Solution

The correct option is C Cofactor
Enzymes are simple if they are made up of only proteins e.g pepsin, amylase etc. while conjugate enzymes have an additional non protein cofactor. eg dehydrogenase enzymes. The cofactor can be organic or inorganic. Loosely attached organic cofactor are called coenzymes example NAD, FAD etc.
