Solution

The correct option is A Citric acid
The citric acid cycle starts with the condensation of acetyl group with oxalo acetic acid and water to yield citric acid. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme citrate synthase and a molecule of CoA is released.

So the correct option is 'citric acid'.
