Correct answer: B. Pyruvate
- A. Cholesterol
- B. Pyruvate
- C. Mevalonate
- D. Acetyl CoA

The cholesterol-synthesis pathway begins with acetyl-CoA and proceeds through HMG-CoA and mevalonate to cholesterol. Pyruvate is an upstream source of acetyl-CoA but is not an intermediate of the HMG-CoA pathway itself.
