Solution

The correct option is A Acetyl CoA carboxylase
Fatty acids are components of the phospholipids that make up the bulk of the lipid bilayers of all cellular membranes. It is synthesized by cytosolic acetyl-CoA through carboxylation by acetyl-CoA carboxylase into malonyl CoA. This conversion occurs primarily in the liver, adipose tissue and lactating mammary glands, where the fatty acids are combined with glycerol to form triglycerides
So, the correct answer is option B.
