Solution

The correct option is C Glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate, CH₃COCOO⁻ + H⁺ via ten enzymatic steps. There are three regulatory steps, each of which is highly regulated. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP and NADH.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
