Answer #1

Option (c) seems correct.

the standard reduction potential for FAD is less negative than for NAD+ (-0.219 vs. -0.315 V). This means that NADH has a more positive oxidation potential (+0.315) and hence is a better reducing agent (will donate more electrons) than FADH2, thus yields more energy when it coughs up its electrons, resulting in greater ATP production.
