Answer: Option B

The incomplete oxidation of glucose into pyruvic acid with several intermediate steps is known as Glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) into pyruvate (CH₃COCO₂H). It does not require oxygen (In anaerobic conditions pyruvate is converted to lactic acid).
The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Glycolysis is a sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes.
