Solution

The correct option is B $NADH$ and $F A D H_{2}$
The breaking of the $C - C$ bonds of complex compounds within the cells, leading to release of a considerable amount of energy is called respiration.
The energy liberated is stored in the form of ATP. Other than the ATP molecule, $NADH$ and $F A D H_{2}$ molecules are capable of producing ATP and act as an electron carrier in the respiratory pathway.
