Solution

The correct option is C Fatty acid
Fatty acid synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH through the action of enzymes called fatty acid synthases. Most of the acetyl-CoA which is converted into fatty acids is derived from carbohydrates via the glycolytic pathway.
So, the correct option is option C.
