Solution

The correct option is A Tryptophan
Tryptophan is an amino acid. Nicotinamide is a vitamin. Nicotinamaide can be synthesized in the human body from tryptophan. However, the efficiency of this synthesis is very low. It occurs in two forms, coenzymes NAD and NADP.
So, option B is the correct option.
