Solution

The correct option is C X- EMP pathway ; Y- Cytoplasm ; Z- Pyruvic acid.
All living organisms have a common pathway of respiration. EMP (Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas) or glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. In the reaction, one glucose molecule gets converted into two pyruvic acid.
So, X- EMP pathway; Y- Cytoplasm; Z- Pyruvic acid.
