Solution

The correct option is C 1-Pyruvate decarboxylase ; 2- Ethanol dehydrogenase
The given reaction represents alcoholic fermentation. In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvate is converted into ethanol in a two step pathway. Ethyl alcohol fermentation is quite common in fungi (e.g., Rhizopus, yeast) and bacteria. In yeast, pyruvate is decarboxylated to form acetaldehyde which is then reduced by NADH to form ethanol.
