Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Under aerobic conditions, the products are pyruvate and coenzyme NADH. Pyruvate directly enters the mitochondrial matrix and is converted into acetyl-CoA.
Under anaerobic conditions pyruvate is used as a hydrogen acceptor and converted into lactate. In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate remains in the cytosol.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct'
