Solution

The correct option is A Chaperons
Chaperons are the small molecules which assist the newly synthesized protein to attain highly stable structure by the folding of polypeptide chain during the post translational modification. It helps in the maintenance of proteome integrity, and protein homeostasis. The energy required for the folding is attained by utilizing the ATP.
So, the correct answer is option A.
