A) Electron carriers will get reduced

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle includes a breakdown of acetyl CoA into carbon dioxide and water. The redox reactions that breakdown the acetyl CoA release electrons which are accepted by NAD + and FAD+. These electron carriers are reduced into NADH and FADH2.

One round of citric acid cycle forms a total of 3 NADH and one FADH2 during the breakdown of one molecule of acetyl CoA.
