Solution

The correct option is A 2
Respiration that occurs in the absence of Oxygen is called Anaerobic respiration and it takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
In this process, per glucose molecule, 4 molecules of ATP are produced but 2 are used up in Glycolysis and therefore the net gain remains at only 2 ATP molecules.
So, the correct answer is '2'
