Solution

The correct option is A Fermentation
  • Anaerobic respiration, is also called fermentation as it occurs when cells need energy but there is no oxygen for aerobic respiration.
  • As a result, cells convert glucose into either ethanol or lactic acid.
  • Alcoholic respiration occurs in plants and yeast.
  • Lactic acid fermentation occurs in animals. Hence, Anaerobic respiration is also termed as Fermentation.
So, the correct answer is 'Fermentation'.
