Anaerobic glycolysis, the process by which glucose is broken down without the presence of oxygen, yields a net production of 2 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose. Therefore, none of the options you provided (6, 12, or 3 molecules) are correct. The correct answer is **2 ATP molecules** from anaerobic glycolysis.
