Solution

The correct option is A $C O_{2}$ and ethanol
Yeast can undergo both aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration, glucose is utilized and carbon dioxide and ethanol are formed. It is also called as alcoholic fermentation. In aerobic respiration, water and carbon dioxide are produced.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
