Answer: E =15

Explanation:

Basically, 1 molecule of glucose  molecule after substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis gives 2 molecules of 3 carbon compounds called pyruvate, for complete oxdation .

                           1 GLUCOSE molecule       ⇒ 2Pyruvates.

Each pyruvate molecule can produce  15 ATPs .( in citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation),.Since 30ATPs were produced,;each pyruvate molecule  must have contributed 15 ATPs each for a total of 30ATPs
