Question
Which pathway supplies C5 units for monoterpenes?
Explanation
The right choice is C: MEP. In PLANT SEC METABOLITES, that matches how the process or concept actually works — the other choices mix up related ideas or use the wrong mechanism. Skip these: A) Mevalonate; B) Shikimate; D) Malonate. A quick check: if an option needs energy, pumps, or the opposite direction of movement, ask whether that really applies.
