Solution

The correct option is D Sulphur: Activates catalase enzyme
Many enzymes need cofactors for their activity. The cofactors can be organic or inorganic. Metal ions are inorganic cofactors. The role of catalase enzyme is to breakdown hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. It has four iron containing heme groups that allow it to react with hydrogen peroxide.
Mn and Cl are essential in the light reaction of photosynthesis. They are essential for splitting of water that leads to the evolution of oxygen.
The chlorophyll pigment has a porphyrin ring with magnesium as its central atom.
Sulphur is a constituent of two amino acids, methionine and cysteine and is also used in synthesis of some vitamins (thiamine and biotin).
Iron is responsible for activation of catalase enzyme.
