Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondrial matrix.
Acetyl CoA is synthesized during oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid and the reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix in which two molecules of NADH are produced and it enters the citric acid cycle.
So the correct option is 'Mitochondrial matrix'.
