None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -1: Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules: Glycolysis, or the aerobic catabolic breakdown of glucose, produces energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which itself enters the citric acid cycle to produce more energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -In oxidation, the two molecules of triose phosphate are then oxidised (they each lose a hydrogen ion) to form two molecules of pyruvate. NAD collects the H+ ions to form two molecules of reduced NAD (NADH) and four molecules of ATP are also produced by substrate-level phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Triose phosphate is converted to pyruvate. Each TP molecule (3C) is converted to a pyruvate molecule (3C). This conversion produces another 2 ATP molecules due to phosphorylation of 2 ADP.
