Yes, I agree @Hedaia.
Because, biotin +ATP + CO2 gives biotin CO2 + ADP + Pi.
Because, biotin +ATP + CO2 gives biotin CO2 + ADP + Pi.

Correct answer is D; because pyruvate is a three carbon compound and oxaloacetate is four carbon compound. Hence carbon dioxide fixation also involves.

Require Biotin, occurs in Mitochondria, involve fixation of co2.

Option A and C.
Because carboxylation need biotin to activate the process also conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate occurs in mitochondria.

Conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate is an important reaction in gluconeogenesis catalysed by enzyme pyruvate carboxylase in presence of biotin helping in transferring of the carbon dioxide to the active site of enzyme Pyruvate Carboxylase.
