Solution
The correct option is C Alcohol and CO2
Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that proceeds in the absence of oxygen. It is the process of release of energy in an enzymatically controlled stepwise partial degradation of organic food (glucose) in the absence of O2. The process is also called fermentation. It does not enter into TCA (Tricarboxylic acid cycle) cycle or ETS (Electron transport system). Here partial glycolysis results in pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid undergoes further reduction and gives carbon dioxide and ethanol (alcohol) along with ATP. This is known as alcoholic fermentation.
