Answer:

The correct answer is - c. No ATP would be synthesized.

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain there are four complexes, complexes I-IV, pumps the protons from the matrix of the mitochondria into the intermembrane space. This is the downhill movement of the electrons that helps in synthesizing the ATP molecules.

If the complexes move or pump the electron uphill or against the gradient there would be no ATP formation as there would be no interchange of proton and electron interchange.
