The correct option is A Fermentation. Glycolysis is a common step for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Next step after glycolysis is fermentation in anaerobic respiration. Fermentation starts with pyruvate (the end product of glycolysis). Depending on the organism, pyruvate can either be fermented into ethanol or lactate.
