The best answer would be B 38 molecules of ATP.
According to some of newer sources the ATP yield during aerobic respiration is not 36–38, but only about 30–32 ATP molecules / 1 molecule of glucose. So in new textbooks 30-32 molecules is stated but that’s not a choice in ur question.
Hope this helps

Answer:
The correct answer will be option B (38).
Explanation:
Cellular respiration or oxidation of glucose proceeds in three sequential reactions: .Glycolysis, Kreb cycle and Electron transport chain (ETC)
1 NADH₂ produces 3 ATP
1 FADH₂ produces 2 ATP
During Glycolysis produce -
NADH₂- 2 molecules =2x3 = 06 ATP
=2x4 = 08 ATP depending on shuttle system
ATP-phosphorylation = 02 ATP (utilized during process)
So, net ATPs synthesized in glycolysis are - 08 ATP.
During Link reaction and Krebs cycle -
NADH₂- 8 molecules = 8x3= 24 ATP
FADH₂- 2 molecules = 2x2= 04 ATP
ATP-phosphorylation= 02 ATP
so, net ATP produced in Link reaction and Krebs cycle are= 30 ATP
Hence, 08 ATP from glycolysis and 30 ATP from link and kreb cycle forms 38 ATP.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
