C Correct answer
Explanation

Chlorophyll contains magnesium at its center, which is essential for photosynthesis. The magnesium ion helps absorb light energy. Iron is found in hemoglobin, not chlorophyll. Manganese is a micronutrient for plants but not part of chlorophyll. Calcium is important for cell walls but not a chlorophyll component.
