D.

If both assertion and reason are false

Glycolysis is a process in which a molecule of glucose (6C) is degraded in a series of enzyme- catalyzed reactions to yield two molecules of pyruvate (3C). This process releases energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADH2).  It is a first step of respiration that occurs inside the cytoplasm and is independent of O2.

In glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are consumed during double phosphorylation of glucose to form Fructose 1, 6 Diphosphate. Four molecules of ATP are produced in the conversion of 1, 3- Diphosphoglycerate to 3- Phosphoglycerate and Phosphenol Pyruvate to Pyruvate whereas, two molecules of NADH2 are formed during oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1, 3-Diphosphoglycerate. Since, each NADH is equivalent to 3 ATP, so net gain in glycolysis is 8 ATP.
