Solution

The correct option is B Pyruvic acid
Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme involved in glycolysis. It catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP, yielding one molecule of pyruvate and one molecule of ATP. Pyruvate kinase converts phosphoenol pyruvate to pyruvate or pyruvic acid.
