Answer:

b) ATP production and electron transport would decrease.

Explanation:

Retenone forbids the electron transport from centers of iron-sulfur in complex I to ubiquinone. This inhibition hinders the NADH during the production of ATP. So ATP production and electron transport are directly related under these conditions. Hence both the production of ATP and transport of electrons are reduced.
