Solution

The correct option is C
alcohol

Yeasts are single celled organisms. Yeasts can undergo both aerobic and anaerobic repsiration. during anaerobic respiration, yeasts produce alcohol. Glucose is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide with the release of energy. Lactic acid is produced in muscles when they respire anaerobically.
