Solution

The correct option is B Two
Citric acid cycle is also called as tricarboxylic acid cycle or krebs cycle. Acetyl CoA enters a cyclic pathway known as citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle is a series of reactions that produces two carbon dioxide molecules (when isocitrate change into alpha-ketoglutarate and alpha-ketoglutarate is converted into succinyl CoA), one GTP/ATP, and reduced forms of NADH and FADH2.
So, the correct option is option B.
