Solution

The correct option is C Oxygen.
In the electron transport chain of aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is oxygen. It accepts the electrons carried by the electron carriers. It acts as an oxidising agent and becomes reduced to water after electrons (hydrogen ions) are attached to it.
