Solution

The correct option is C Vitamins
A coenzyme is a substance that works with an enzyme to initiate or aid the function of an enzyme. They are small, non proteinaceous molecules that bind loosely to an enzyme at the active site to help catalyze reactions. Many coenzymes are vitamins or are derived from vitamins or from nucleotides. Water-soluble vitamins, which include all B complex vitamins and vitamin C, lead to the production of coenzymes.
