Solution

The correct option is C Pyruvic acid
Glycolysis means lysis of glucose. It is a sequence of 10 reactions, which occur in the cytoplasm and break down one hexose glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvic acid, having three carbon atoms in each. Also, there is the net gain of 2 ATP molecules and a synthesis of 2 molecules of reduced coenzyme NADH2.
