Solution
The correct option is A RuBP
Dark reaction starts with the condensation of CO2 and RuBP to form an unstable six-carbon compound which is split into two molecules of three carbon PGA.
During the regeneration phase of the cycle, RuBP is regenerated to enter into the pathway again, making it a cyclic process. Hence, the correct answer is A.
