Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a glycolysis 2nd reaction, the organic molecule or glucose must be negatively chargedin order to reduce the positively charged NAD+. Oxygen must be present to oxidize the NADH produced back to NAD+ and the free energy liberated when electrons are removed from the organic molecules must be greater than the energy required to give the electrons to NAD+.
