Solution

The correct option is C Krebs cycle
Krebs cycle is also called as the citric acid cycle because the first product of Krebs cycle is a tricarboxylic acid i.e., citric acid. In the first reaction of citric acid cycle, oxaloacetic acid reacts with acetyl CoA to generate citric acid. This reaction is catalyzed by enzyme citrate synthase.
