All of the following could include the mechanism or function of oxigenases, EXCEPT:

A
Incorporate 2 atoms of oxygen
B
Incorporate 1 atom of oxygen
C
Required for hydroxylation of steroids
D
Required for carboxylation of drugs
High-Yield Explanation
Carboxylation is a function of carboxylase enzymes which belong to the class of 'Ligases'. It is not a function of oxygenase enzymes. Monoxygenases incorporate one atom of oxygen and play an impoant role in hydroxylation of steroids. Dioxygenases incorporate 2 atoms of oxygen into the substrate.
