The correct answer is: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate 1, 3-bisphosphoglyceric acid
Oxidative decarboxylation reactions are oxidation reactions in which a carboxylate group is removed, forming carbon dioxide. In this reaction, Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate  →  1, 3-bisphosphoglyceric acid phosphorylation occurs, and oxidative decarboxylation does not occur.
