Answer: Option B.

Often require the reactions of glycolysis to produce ATP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fermentation is the process whereby one mole of glucose is acted upon by yeast in the absence of oxygen to produce two moles ethanol, two moles of carbondioxide and two moles of ATP. It requires glycolysis to produce ATP.

During glycolysis, one glucose molecules is converted to two pyruvate molecules producing two net ATP and two NADH.
