Solution

The correct option is C Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes
Glycolysis is a pathway in which the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid occurs. It results in partial oxidation of glucose. It takes place in the cytoplasm of all living cells irrespective of the cell type i.e., it can occur in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Hence, it is a universal process in cellular respiration.
