Solution

The correct option is D $I r o n$
The electron transport system is the stepwise transfer of an electron from several across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Iron plays an important role in the transport of electron.
During the process of chlorophyll synthesis, it was studied by Willstater that chlorophyll has two parts:
Head (Porphyrin)
Tail (Phytol)
iron helps in the formation of the porphyrin ring which is made up of two pyrrole rings.
So, the correct option is 'Iron'.
