Solution

The correct option is C The cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl CoA) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid
Kerb's cycle also known as citric acid cycle
It begins with condensation of an acetyl group (acetyl CoA (2C)) with oxaloacetic acid (or pyruvic acid) (4C) to form citric acid (6C) with the addition of water molecule (hydration).
Hence the correct answer is the option 'The cycle starts with condensation of an acetyl group (acetyl CoA) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid'.
