Solution

The correct option is A Complete glycolysis
Gycolysis is the process in which two molecules of pyruvic acid is formed by the oxidation of one molecule of glucose. It is the first step in cellular respiration. In this 8 molecules of ATP are generated (Each NADH2 corresponds to 3 ATP). Pyruvic acid provides energy to living cells through the citric acid cycle in presence of oxygen. This is called aerobic respiration. In absence of oxygen it is fermented to produce lactic acid.
