Solution

The correct option is D Reduces two molecules of NAD+ for every glucose molecule processed
Glycolysis is a multi-step process that takes place in the cytoplasm, in which glucose (a six carbon sugar) is split into two molecules of the three-carbon sugar pyruvate with the generation of two molecules of ATP and two "high energy" electron carrying molecules of NADH.
The electrons carried by NADH molecules is utilized in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
