Solution

The correct option is C coenzyme
The non-protein component in enzymes, which is necessary for its biological activity, is called a coenzyme.

The activity of an enzyme depends, at the minimum, on a specific protein chain. In many cases, the enzyme consists of the protein and a combination of one or more non-protein parts called coenzymes.

Coenzymes can be either inorganic or organic compounds. They include NADH, NADPH and ATP. These molecules transfer chemical groups between enzymes.
