Solution

The correct option is C More than glycolysis
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose by oxidation. In glycolysis, no CO $_{2}$ molecules are produced. In HMP pathway CO $_{2}$ is formed during the formation of ribulose-5-phosphate from 6-phosphogluconate.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
