Solution

The correct option is C Kreb’s Cycle

Kreb’s cycle produces the largest amount of ATP that is 24 ATP out of total 38 ATP produced during respiration. Whereas in glycolysis 2 ATP are produced which is used in anaerobic respiration. Pyruvate oxidation is the next step in capturing the remaining energy in the form of ATP, although no ATP is made directly during pyruvate oxidation.
