The correct answer is:

glycolysis, during respiration

Photosynthetic algae create sugars that eventually be broken down during : A. Glycolysis, during respiration

During this process, Algae produced 2 ATP and 2 NADH, which is used in forming energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cleavage down of sugars is called glycolysis. The prefix glyco- means sugar, and the suffix -lysis means breaking down. It's part of a three-step method in respiration, the other two is The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation. In the manner of glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are designed. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that transforms glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate, CH₃COCOO− + H⁺. The free energy released in this manner is used to form the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH.
