Solution

The correct option is C Cytoplasm
Anaerobic respiration is the other name for glycolysis that takes place in the cytoplasm. During the course of respiration, glycolysis is the process in which anaerobically the enzymes breaks one molecule of hexose sugar glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid. The fate of pyruvic acid depends on cellular need and availability of oxygen.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
