The correct answer is:

D. in mitochondria, during cellular respiration

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) incorporated during glucose metabolism is generated in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a complicated reaction powered by the proton inclination across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is produced by mitochondrial respiration.
