Solution

The correct option is D
Heme

Heme or haem is a cofactor consisting of an Fe²⁺ (ferrous) ion contained in the core of a heterocyclic organic compound called a porphyrin. Although, heme contains Fe²⁺ions, the ions are bound to the organic molecule and therefore is not a metal ion cofactor.
