Solution

The correct option is D six
During glycolysis, glucose, a six carbon compound is broken down into two molecules of puruvic acid/pyruvate, which is a three carbon compound. This process occurs in the cytoplasm. It does not require oxygen, so can happen in both aerobic and anerobic conditions.
