Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The production of Acetyl-CoA takes place by the dissociation of both carbohydrates and lipids in the process of glycolysis and beta-oxidation. It then moves into the TCA cycle in the mitochondria and combines with oxaloacetate to give rise to citrate.  

In the given case, no labeling will be found in the acetyl-CoA. The labeled C3 and C4 carbon of glucose signify the carboxyl carbon of pyruvate. In the succeeding reactions of the transformation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, the carboxyl carbon gets lost in the form of carbon dioxide. Thus, acetyl-CoA does not comprise any labeled C3 and C4 of glucose.
