Solution

The correct option is D Mitochondria
In Mitochondria, the decarboxylation of Glycine in the presence of glycine decarboxylase and also deamination releases $C O_{2}$ and $N H_{3}$ resulting in formation of serine. Furthermore, NAD is reduced to NADH. The serine thus formed enters the peroxisome.
