Solution

The potential of NADH and FADH₂ is converted to more ATP through an electron transport chain with oxygen as the "terminal electron acceptor". Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation.
The oxygen atom receives the electrons and gets reduced to water.
So, the correct option is 'water'.
