Solution

The correct option is B Both (A) and (B)
Ascaris respires anaerobically because of lack of oxygen in host intestine. In this process, glycogen undergoes glycolysis and finally yields CO $_{2}$ , fatty acids and energy. Aerobic respiration also seems to occur, if free oxygen is available in host intestine.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
