Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor of respiratory chain. In electron transport system, electrons are passed on from one carrier to another and ultimately to oxygen and at the end of this chain, one molecule of water is produced as:
$\frac{1}{2} O_{2} + 2 H^{+} + 2 e^{-} \to H_{2} O$
