Solution

The correct option is B
1,3 bisphosphoglyceric acid

The first biological oxidation occurs in glycolysis where glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3-P) is oxidized to 1, 3 - bis phosphoglyceric acid. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate undergoes oxidation, leading to the reduction of one NAD+ molecule to NADH.
