D) 12 ATP
Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP and 2 NADH, with each NADH yielding 2.5 ATP, contributing 7 ATP in total (2.5 × 2). The subsequent conversion of 2 pyruvate molecules to acetyl-CoA generates 2 NADH, adding another 5 ATP. To sum up, glycolysis (7 ATPs) and the pyruvate conversion (5 ATPs) provide a net total of 12 ATP.
