Solution

The correct option is D C6H12O6yeast−−−enzymeC2H5OH+CO2
Alcoholic fermentation, also referred to as ethanol fermentation. It is a biological process in which elements, such as glucose, fructose and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbon dioxide, as metabolic waste products. Because yeasts perform this conversion in the absence of oxygen, alcoholic fermentation is considered an anaerobic process. So, option B is correct.
