Answer:

The correct answer is c converts a tertiary alcohol which cannot easily be oxidized to a secondary alcohol that can be oxidized.

Explanation:

Both citrate and isocitrate are isomers of each other and also very important metabolic intermediates of TCA cycle.

  Citrate is a tertiary alcohol that"s why it cannot be metabolized as it"s functional group is surrounded by many bulky groups.

 To overcome this problem citrate is converted to isocitrate which is a secondary alcohol that can easily be metabolized to generate alpha ketoglurate an important intermediate of TCA cycle.
