Solution

The correct option is D Complete glycolysis
The given equation represents the whole process of glycolysis. Glycolysis is a 10 step process which occurs in the cytosol of cells. It involves the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid without oxygen. The net yield of glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules for one glucose molecule oxidised to pyruvate.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
