Solution

The correct option is D One of the vitamin B
When pyruvate breaks down, it produces small bonded carbon molecules (C2). When they react with CoA, the combined molecule becomes acetyl-CoA. Coenzyme A is a cofactor – it assists an enzyme to provide an effect. Co-A is produced through the ingestion of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid or pantothenate)
Hence the correct answe is (D)
