Solution

The correct option is C phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL)
The last phase of the Calvin cycle is labelled regeneration as the remaining PGAL is enzymatically converted from the three-carbon sugar-phosphate into more ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) so that the Calvin cycle can continue to go around again.
So, the correct option is, 'PGAL'.
