Solution

The correct option is B $40$ %
Aerobic respiration is the form of respiration which uses oxygen. It can be summarised by this equation:
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)
Each glucose molecule on complete oxidation gives 38 ATP molecules.
Approximately 40% of the energy is released during aerobic respiration is conserved in the form of ATP
So, the correct answer is ' $40$ %'
