Solution

The correct option is C Carbon dioxide
Glycolysis produces 2 pyruvate molecules. The pyruvate molecules then forms acetyl CoA and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released. The acetyl-CoA molecules then enters the citric acid cycle. The end product of citric acid cycle is 2 carbon dioxide molecules, 1 GTP, 3 NADH and 1 FADH2.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Carbon dioxide.'
