Cyanide Inhibits the Enzyme in the Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain

Cyanide inhibits the enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain that reduces O₂ to water.Suppose you added cyanide to a suspension of muscle cells from a rat.Which statement is accurate with respect to the effects of cyanide on glucose catabolism?

A) The citric acid cycle and glycolysis would be inhibited.
B) The citric acid cycle would be inhibited, but glycolysis would not and so pyruvate would accumulate.
C) Both the citric acid cycle and glycolysis would be stimulated.
D) The citric acid cycle would be inhibited, but glycolysis would not and so lactic acid would accumulate.
E) The citric acid cycle would not be inhibited, but glycolysis would.
