Solution

The correct option is D Glucose into pyruvic acid.
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is present in all living organisms. In this process, glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid, in absence of oxygen. No carbon dioxide is produced in this process.
