The option that best summarizes the process of glycolysis is:

anaerobic; 6-carbon glucose forms two 3-carbon pyruvates; forms a net total of 2 ATP.

Glycolysis is an anaerobic process (it does not require oxygen) that involves the conversion of one 6-carbon glucose molecule into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules, and it produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
