Solution

The correct option is A
8 ATP

The correct option is A.
An explanation for the correct option:
The other name for glycolysis is EMP (Embden, Meyerhof, and Parnas).
It is the initial stage of cellular respiration.
When 2 glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is oxidized to 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate, there is a net production of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules.
2 NADH produces 6 ATP molecules in the respiratory chain, the EMP pathway can produce a total of 8 ATP molecules.
Final answer: A total of 8 ATP is produced during EMP.
