Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondia and cytosol
Aerobic respiration takes place in two steps. First, glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm or cytosol (cytoplasmic matrix) of the cell where glucose breaks down to form pyruvate and energy. Then, pyruvate breaks down in the mitochondria of the cell to form carbon dioxide, water and releases energy.
Hence the correct option is C.
