Respiration

It says 'of isocitrate', so why do they consider the decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutaric acid, just because it comes after isocitrate? Most the coaching answer keys say it's option B, but I checked the official key and it's option C. Sometimes I have trouble understanding NTA's brand of logic. Should we apply this understanding of the term to future questions?
