The correct answer is Option (4) - A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

List I List II
A. Citric acid cycle II. Mitochondrial matrix
B. Glycolysis I. Cytoplasm
C. Electron transport system IV. Inner mitochondrial membrane
D. Proton gradient III. Intermembrane space of mitochondria

The Krebs cycle or TCA cycle or Citric acid cycle is a series of enzyme catalyzed reactions occurring in the mitochondrial matrix, where acetyl-CoA is oxidised to form carbon dioxide and coenzymes are reduced, which generate ATP in the electron transport chain.

The term glycolysis has originated from the Greek words, glycos for sugar, and lysis for splitting. In anaerobic organisms, it is the only process in respiration. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is present in all living organisms.

The metabolic pathway through which the electron passes from one carrier to another, is called the electron transport system (ETS) and it is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The transport chain builds a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, with a higher concentration of H ‍ in the intermembrane space and a lower concentration in the matrix.
