Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis can be defined as the cytoplasmic pathway which helps in the breakdown of Glucose into Pyruvic Acid or Pyruvate and Lactate.

It is the method by which energy is generated in all living cells of an organism.

This pathway can take place in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, aerobic condition means when oxygen is present and anaerobic condition means when oxygen is absent.

In Aerobic state glucose converts into Pyruvate.

In Anaerobic state glucose converts into Lactate.

Therefore, the correct statement is "Option A".
