Solution

The correct option is A CO2, H2O, energy
The breaking down of the respiratory substrates in the presence of oxygen to liberate energy is called aerobic respiration. The given equation represents aerobic respiration.

glucoseC6H12O6+oxygen6O2carbon dioxide6CO2+water6H2O+energyATP

In aerobic respiration, glucose undergoes complete oxidation in the presence of O2 and liberates CO2, H2O and energy.

Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of substances in the absence of O2 to liberate energy. Based on the product formed, fermentation can be of two types - ethyl alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

CO2, ethanol and energy are the products of ethyl alcohol fermentation. Whereas lactic acid and energy are the products of lactic acid fermentation.
