Solution

The correct options are
A two
B three
Each NADH gives 3 molecules of ATP and each $F A D H_{2}$ gives 2 molecules of ATP on oxidation. The energy released in the cellular respiration process is expressed in terms of number of ATP molecules released and hence these conversion factors are significant.
