Solution

The correct option is B False
Aerobic respiration is a process which takes place in the presence of oxygen to break down food into pyruvate and then into carbon dioxide and water, and energy is released.
On the other hand, fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration, which takes place in the absence of oxygen, to produce ethanol, carbon dioxide and energy.
Hence, this statement is False.
