It plays a role in cell division, cell growth, wound healing, and the breakdown of carbohydrates.

It is found naturally in some foods and is added to supplements and some salt seasonings. Hence option C is correct. • Although Lead is not made by the human body and is non-biodegradable and harmful for the human body, it is found in the human bones and teeth.
