Solution

The correct option is B
Zn

Carbonic anhydrases are enzymes that catalyse the important reversible reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and protons, (and back). These enzymes generally have zinc as a cofactor. This reversible reaction is important in animals to maintain acid-base balance in blood and other tissues, and to help transport carbon dioxide out of tissues.
