Solution

The correct option is C PGA
Glycolysis converts glucose into two 3-carbon molecules called as pyruvate. The energy released during glycolysis is used to make ATP. Enolase is used to convert 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the 9th reaction of glycolysis. It is a reversible dehydration reaction.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
