A researcher labels C‑6 of glucose 6‑phosphate with C14 and adds it to a solution containing the enzymes and cofactors of the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. What is the fate of the radioactive label?

A. C14 appears at C‑4 of erythrose 4‑phosphate
B. C14 appears at C‑7 of sedoheptulose 7‑phosphate
C. C14 appears at C‑5 of ribulose 5‑phosphate
D. C14 appears at C‑6 of fructose 6‑phosphate
E. C14 appears in the CO2 evolved by the oxidative phase.
