Answer:

The correct option is B, PYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE.

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is the process by which the body produce glucose from non-glucose precursors in the body. The gluconeogenesis pathway usually become active when there is shortage of glucose in the body. The enzymes that carry out the process of gluconeogenesis can be found mostly in the cytosol; only one of them is present in the mitochondria. The gluconeogenesis enzyme that is found in the mitochondria is PRUVATE CARBOXYLASE.
