The correct answer is:
**D. NADH is used to synthesize ATP in one step of the chain.**
In the electron transport chain, NADH donates electrons to the chain, which ultimately leads to the production of ATP through a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. ATP is synthesized as a result of the proton gradient created by the movement of electrons through the transport chain.
**D. NADH is used to synthesize ATP in one step of the chain.**
