Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During the Krebs cycle, I Malate is generatedII decarboxylation occursIII substrate-level phosphorylation occurs
A
I only
B
I and II only
C
II and III only
D
II, II and III
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in the cytoplasm of cells during glycolysis and in mitochondria either during the Krebs cycle or by MTHFD1L (EC 6.3.

Detailed explanation-2: -Substrate-level phosphorylation is a type of chemical reaction that results in the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the direct transfer of a phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from a reactive intermediate.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the second reaction of the Krebs cycle, the isomerisation of citrate to isocitrate takes place. As an intermediate, cis-aconitate is formed. Therefore, it is a two-step reaction sequence.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is (A)-one.
