Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactic acid fermentation involves the conversion of pyruvic acid to lactic acid using the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase and requires the cofactor NADH to be oxidized back to NAD+. Thus, choice C - NADH- is the correct option. The other choices, NAD, FAD, and FADH, are not involved in lactic acid fermentation.
