Solution

The correct option is C Fermentation
Fermentation is an energy releasing process in which substrate like sugar is oxidized into organic acids or alcohol without an external electron acceptor. The final electron acceptor is either acetaldehyde or pyruvate. Aerobic respiration is a process in which energy is produced in the presence of oxygen. Glycolysis is a process of converting glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Photorespiration is a process in which RuBisCO enzyme oxygenates RuBP by wasting some amount of energy.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
