The correct option is C Cytoplasm.
The pentose phosphate pathway is a metabolic pathway which is carried out in most of the organisms. This pathway occurs parallel to glycolysis. This pathway produces pentoses from Glucose 6-phosphate. The pathway takes place in the cytoplasm in most of the organisms. In the case of plants, there are certain reactions which occur in the plastids.
