The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The molecular formula of citric acid is C₆H₈O₇, indicating that it contains 6 carbon atoms.
If we have n moles of citric acid, then the number of carbon atoms present would be:
Number of carbon atoms = 6 x n
So, the correct answer is: 6n

Concepts Used:
Aerobic respiration
It is the release of a relatively large amount of energy in cells by the breakdown of food substances in the presence of oxygen:
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water.
