  • The acceptor molecule of CO_{2} is a 5-carbon ketose sugar – ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). 
  • CO_{2} combines with RuBP to form an unstable 6C compound called enediol.
  • Enediol is quickly broken into two 3C compounds called 3-phosphoglyceric acid or in short PGA.
  • This is why the Calvin cycle is also called the C3 cycle.

Enediol is the unstable 6C compound which is formed when CO_{2}  combines with RuBP. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
