Correct Option: B

In germinating seeds, fatty acids are degraded exclusively in the glyoxysomes.
Glyoxylate cycle occurs in tissues rich in fats, such as those of germinating seeds; the enzymes involved in the cycle, which have not been found in mammals, are contained in organelles called glyoxysomes.
