Solution

The correct option is C Both A and D
Pyruvate is the output of glycolysis where one molecule of glucose breaks down into two molecules of pyruvate. Anaerobically, pyruvic acid is broken down to form lactate in animals and ethanol in plants and microorganisms. This process is called fermentation.
So, the correct answer is 'Both A and D'
