The correct option is
B Pyruvic acid.
The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria of a cell and it's an important part in generating energy or ATP molecules. The Krebs cycle occurs right after glycolysis. The substance that begins the Krebs cycle is a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvic acid. The process breaks down the pyruvic acid into acetyl coenzyme A, releasing one of the carbon atoms into carbon dioxide.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
