Solution

The correct option is C Tetrazolium chloride.
Tetrazolium chloride is reduced by Complex I in mitochondria. It is completely reduced to an insoluble red 1,3,5-triphenyl formazan under anaerobic conditions. Tetrazolium chloride is a redox indicator used to detect cellular respiration.
So the correct option is 'Tetrazolium chloride.'
