**Question 19: Metabolic Pathways and Enzyme Reactions**

**Which of the following statements is true for the shown reactions?**

**Reaction Diagram Description:**
- **W to X Transformation:** 
  - The molecule labeled **W** (chemical structure: C-S-CoA, CH2, H3C-C-OH, CH2, COO-) undergoes a transformation resulting in the molecule labeled **X** (chemical structure: COO-, CH2, C=O, CH3).
  - This transformation involves an intermediate which is Acetyl-CoA.

- **X to Y Transformation:** 
  - The molecule **X** (chemical structure: COO-, CH2, C=O, CH3) is further transformed into the molecule labeled **Y** (chemical structure: COO-, CH2, CHOH, CH3).
  - This transformation involves the addition of a Hydrogen (2H).

**Option A:**
- **Deficiency of oxaloacetate stimulates the formation of X and Y**

**Option B:**
- **Insulin signaling stimulates the formation of X and Y**

**Option C:**
- **Both A and B**

**Option D:**
- **Neither A nor B**

**Answer:**
This question tests the understanding of the metabolic conversions and regulatory factors influencing the formation of intermediary compounds X and Y. The student is expected to apply knowledge of biochemical pathways and their regulation.
