Solution

The correct option is A $α$ -ketoglutaric acid
Isocitrate dehydrogenase or IDH is an enzyme that participates in the citric acid cycle. It catalyzes the third step of the cycle: the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate, producing alpha-ketoglutarate (α-ketoglutarate) a 5- carbon compound and CO2 while converting NAD+ to NADH.
So, the correct option is, 'α-ketoglutaric acid'.
