It's 34.
You get net gain of 2 ATP from glycolysis, along with the 2 pyruvates. Eventually after further degradation of the pyruvate, it yeilds NADH, and FADH. Those in turn go through oxidative phosphorylation. So all in all each pyruvate gives off 16 ATP, and since you have 2 of those you get 32 in total. Adding 32 from the TcA cycle and the 2 from glycolysis you get 34. Thus the answer is B or 34 ATP.

b,c,d are all correct:
The theoretical yield is 38 but in reality it is somewhere between 34 to 36 ATP molecules. Check with your text book and see what it says.
