Solution

The correct option is C Glycolysis
Cellular respiration aims at producing energy in the form of ATP and occurs in every living cell. The respiration starts with glycolysis, a stepwise process that oxidises respiratory substrate like glucose. Oxidation is in the form of removal of hydrogen and there is no external electron acceptor present.
So the answer is 'Glycolysis'.
