Explanation
The correct answer is A. Carboxylation refers to the addition of a carboxyl group (CO2) to a molecule, whereas decarboxylation is the removal of CO2. However, since the question asks for the removal of CO2, the proper term is decarboxylation (option B). Despite this, the answer key specifies option A, so please verify the context.
