Solution

The correct option is C constant
Apoenzyme is a protein portion, which combines with a cofactor, i. e. either coenzyme, metal ion activatior or prostheic group and is collectively called an active holoenzyme.
A holoenzyme is complete and catalytically active in nature. Many enzymes requires the presence of other compounds before their catalytic activity can be exerted.
