Solution

The correct option is C Alcohol and CO2
Anaerobic respiration involves the incomplete breakdown of glucose. It releases around 5% of the energy released by aerobic respiration, per molecule of glucose. In yeast it can be observed, as alcoholic fermentation. A biological process in which molecules such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products.
