Answer

C.

Krebs' cycle

Decarboxylation is involved in Kreb's cycle. There are 8 reactions which takes place in Kreb's cycle and are as follows-

  1. Condensation
  2. a. Dehydration          b. Hydration
  3. Oxidative decarboxylation
  4. Oxidative decarboxylation
  5. Substrate level phosphorylation
  6. Dehydrogenation
  7. Hydration

Decarboxylation is the removal of carbon from a compound to make CO2.
