Correct answer: B. Propionyl CoA

  • A. Succinyl CoA
  • B. Propionyl CoA
  • C. Acetyl CoA
  • D. Malonyl CoA

Explanation

Odd-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation ends with a three-carbon propionyl-CoA residue, unlike even-chain fatty acids, which end entirely as acetyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA is subsequently converted to succinyl-CoA.
