Solution

The correct option is B $C O_{2}, ethanol, energy$
The breaking down of the respiratory substrates in the presence of $O_{2}$ to liberate energy is called aerobic respiration.

$glucose C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + oxygen 6 O_{2} \to carbon dioxide 6 C O_{2} + water 6 H_{2} O + energy ATP$

Glucose undergoes complete oxidation in the presence of $O_{2}$ , liberates $C O_{2}, H_{2} O$ and energy.

Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of substances in the absence of $O_{2}$ to liberate energy. Based on the product formed, the fermentation can be of two types - ethyl alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

$C O_{2}$ , ethanol, energy are the products of ethyl alcohol fermentation. Whereas lactic acid and energy are the products of lactic acid fermentation.
