Solution

The correct option is C Spinacia
It is the flow of electrons in the usual mitochondrial electron transport chain (in both animals and plants) during aerobic respiration which is blocked by the presence of cyanides as they inhibit the activity of cytochrome oxidase. This type of respiration is there­fore, known as cyanide sensitive respiration.
It is mostly carried out by the Spinacia genus of plants.
So the correct option is 'Spinacia'.
