Solution

The correct option is A FAD
Succinate dehydrogenase enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of succinic acid by removal of its two hydrogen atoms and forms fumaric acid. The removed hydrogen atoms reduce the FAD into $F A D H_{2}$ that enters mitochondrial electron transport chain. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
