Solution
The correct option is C tRNA Ribozyme (from ribonucleic acid enzyme) is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule that can catalyze biochemical reactions, just as certain protein enzymes act as biological catalysts in regulating the rate of chemical reactions in living organisms.
A ribosome is an organelle, Amylase is a digestive enzyme, riboflavin is a vitamin. So it is tRNA that acts as a ribozyme.
