Mineral needed for acetate incorporation in cholesterol biosynthesis

Answer: Option C

Mineral needed for acetate incorporation in cholesterol biosynthesis is Manganese.
Manganese and chromium were found to increase the incorporation of acetate into cholesterol by 100 percent, whereas vanadium depressed cholesterol synthesis by 50 percent. Manganese acts as a cofactor of mevalonate kinase and farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase.
