Solution

The correct option is B Yeast
Yeast can undergo both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in yeast in the absence of oxygen. It is also known as fermentation. The products of anaerobic respiration in yeast are carbon dioxide, alcohol and 2 molecules of ATP.
So the correct answer is 'Yeast'.
