Answer:

(C). 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Krebs cycle can be defined as a cyclic reaction, which involves generation of energy by oxidation of aceyl coenzyme A, derived from complex compounds, such as glucose. In eukaryotes, Krebs cycle takes place inside the mitochondria.

It is used by most of the living cells to generate energy during aerobic respiration. Two molecules of ATP are formed in each cycle of Krebs cycle.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
