This is the first step of cellular respiration
A
Glycolysis
B
Lactic Acid Fermentation
C
Alcoholic Fermentation
D
Aerobic Respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm of your cells. During this process, a glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid).

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative phosphorylation occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis. It does not require oxygen, and it does not take place in the mitochondrion. Enzymes split a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. This releases energy, which is transferred to ATP.
