best_answer
  • Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

  • It contains a heme (haem) group as a prosthetic group, which is essential for its function.

  • The heme group contains an iron ion that participates in redox reactions.

  • RuBisCo – contains magnesium, not haem.

  • Carbonic anhydrase – contains zinc as a cofactor.

  • Succinate dehydrogenase – contains FAD and iron-sulfur clusters, not haem as the main prosthetic group.

Hence, the correct answer is: Option 1 )Catalase.
