Solution
The correct option is C Molybdenum
Nitrogen fixation is the process of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into salts of nitrogen which can be easily used by the plants. It takes place in presence of an enzyme known as nitrogenase enzyme. It is produced by certain cyanobacteria and helps in the reduction of nitrogen to ammonia. It is made up of two component dinitrogenase and dinitrogenase reductase. The dinitrogenase contains a cofactor of iron and molybdenum which helps in reduction of nitrogen to ammonia.So, the correct answer is option D.
