Answer:

The correct Answer is A) NAD+ acts as an electron transporter.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is an oxidizing agent – it accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced. It function is more like that of a courier, carrying electrons to the cells that need it to produce and store energy.

This reaction forms NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD.
