Because these step gives 6ATP.
From step 5 all energy produced is times 2.

In electron transport chain,
1ATP = 1ATP.
1NADH = 3ATP.

Therefore, 2 NADH produced = 3 times 2 = 6.
6ATP.

Because this step produce 2 NADH for every 1 glucose.

And 1 NADH=3ATP that = 3*2=6 but other steps they produce only 2ATP.

According to me, it is B because it is in step 7 that the first ATP molecule is produced.

Most of the energy stored in pyruvate so why we don"t choose A) pyruvate kinase?

This step generates NADP equivalent to 3 ATP molecules.
