Correct option (d) Acetyl Co-A
Explanation :
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins, all can be used as a substrate in cellular respiration. All of them first get converted to acetyl Co-A to enter into Krebs' cycle of aerobic cellular respiration. Thus, it is the common factor of respiration entering Krebs' cycle after breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
