Solution

The correct option is C Acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA
Oxidative decarboxylation is a type of reaction in which there is oxidation of the substrate along with release of CO $_{2}$ . During the process of cellular respiration, when the pyruvic acid gets converted to acetyl CoA, oxidation occurs and CO $_{2}$ is released. Same kind of a reaction occurs in Krebs' cycle when ketoglutarate is converted to succinyl CoA.
So the answer is 'Acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA'.
