Solution
The correct option is C Oxidative phosphorylation The essential process of cellular respiration in which the products of the glycolysis and ETS are used for the production of ATP. There is a transfer of electron and the final acceptor is the molecular oxygen. ETS or electron transport system is also known as oxidative phosphorylation which takes place in the bacterial cell as well as in the mitochondria of the eukaryotic cells. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
