    Ribose 5-phosphate - > - > fructose 6-phosphate + glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate

    Explanation:

    The non oxidative phase or the reversible phase of the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway is important for the the generation of the NADPH molecule and ribulose 5 phosphate.

    The ribulose 5 phosphate is used by the cells for the synthesis of nucleotides. Ribulose 5 phosphate is converted into the fructose 6-phosphate by translketolase and glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate by transaldolase. These steps require more energy than the other steps.

    Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
