Solution
The correct option is B Cytoplasm
Pentose phosphate pathway is also called as phosphogluconate pathway or Hexose Monophosphate Shunt (HMP Shunt). It occurs in most organisms in cytoplasm. It results in generation of NADPH, ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) and erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P). R5P is precursor for the synthesis of nucleotides. E4P is involved in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
