Which biochemical pathway is responsible for the generation of ATP from the breakdown of fatty acids in the presence of oxygen?

A Glycolysis
B Citric acid cycle
C Pentose phosphate pathway
D Beta-oxidation ✓

Explanation

Beta-oxidation is the process by which fatty acids are broken down into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle, ultimately leading to the generation of ATP in the presence of oxygen.
