Answer Key / Explanation : (d) -

(d)

During the step of Krebs’ cycle, where Succinic acid undergoes oxidation or dehydrogenation to form Fumaric acid, FAD is reduced to FAD  and enzyme involved in this step is Succinic acid dehydrogenase.

Conversion of isocitric acid to  -ketoglutaric acid, malic acid  to oxaloacetic acid and pyruvic acid to acetyl Co-A, all involve reduction of NAD to NADH+
