Solution

The correct option is D

Conversion of 2-phosphoglyceric acid to phospho enol pyruvic acid


In the ninth step of glycolysis, 2-phosphoglyceric acid (2-PGA) is converted into phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEP) by removal of one water molecule. These two molecules, 2-PGA and PEP are not isomers. All the other molecules mentioned here are isomers and their reactions are reversible, therefore they are interconvertible.
