Solution

The correct option is D Molybdenum
Molybdenum is an important component of the nitrogen fixing enzymes known as nitrogenase. It is made up of two components, component I dinitrogenase and component II is dinitrogenase reductase. Component II is a Fe protein that contains the Fe-S cluster which transfers electrons to Component I and actively reduces it and participates in nitrogen fixation.
So, the correct answer is option D.
