During cellular respiration, when pyruvic acid is created (specifically during the glycolysis phase), the primary products are ATP, NADH, and pyruvic acid itself. However, if you are specifically asking about additional products related directly to the complete process of cellular respiration (including the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation), then water is produced as a result of this overall process.

So, if the question is focusing solely on what happens in the glycolysis phase where pyruvic acid is produced, the correct answer would not include water. But in the context of cellular respiration as a whole, the best response among the options given is **water**.
