Solution

The correct option is A

Aerobic respiration


Anaerobic respiration leads to an incomplete breakdown of glucose. It releases around 5% of the energy released by aerobic respiration per molecule of glucose.Clearly, the release of energy in the aerobic process is a lot more than in an anaerobic process.
