    The correct answer is C electron transport chain produces more ATP than glycolysis or the krebs cycle.

    Explanation:

    Glycolysis, krebs cycle and electron transport chain all are the principle steps of cellular respiration.

    During glycolysis 4 molecules of ATP is produced and 2 molecules of NADH is generated

    During krebs cycle 2 molecules of GTP which is equivalent to 2 molecules of ATP is produced along with 6 molecules of NADH and 2 molecules of FADH2 are produced.

    During electron transport chain the 8 molecules of NADH of glycolysis and krebs cycle and 2 molecules of FADH2 of krebs cycle undergo oxidation to form 26 molecules of ATP.
