Answer:

The correct answer option C. Acetyl-CoA is broken down and carbon dioxide, ATP and "charged" coenzymes are produced.

Explanation:

The Krebs cycle is also known as TCA or Krebs cycle is a set of chemical reactions in which aerobic organism covert stored energy with the oxidation of acetyl CoA into ATP and carbon dioxide,

This process involves acetyl CoA which is derived from fats, protein, and carbohydrates and oxidized into carbon dioxide, ATP and charged coenzymes.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. Acetyl-CoA is broken down and carbon dioxide, ATP and "charged" coenzymes are produced.
