The correct option is A Iron
Iron is a constituent of ferredoxin and cytochrome which are involved in the transfer of electrons in a number of metabolic processes where Fe+2gets oxidised to Fe+3 reversibly to release an electron.
It activates catalase enzyme. Catalase enzyme is essential in protecting cells from Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).
Iron is also a constituent of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll.
