Correct option: D.
Cytochrome
d
Cytochromes are small proteins (intrinsic membrane proteins) that contain a cofactor, haem, which holds an iron atom. The iron carries electrons and cycles between $+2$ and $+3$ oxidation states. These form a part of electron transport chain in mitochondria and chloroplast and act as an electron transporter or electron acceptor in respiration and photosynthesis
