Solution

The correct option is D i and iii only
After the process of glycolysis that occurs in cytoplasm, pyruvic acid thus formed enters mitochondria where it undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in the link reaction. Krebs' cycle also occurs in mitochondrial matrix.
So the answer is 'i and iii only'.
