Solution

The correct option is C anaerobically producing alcohol

Yeast respires anaerobically and produces alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy.

The equation for anaerobic respiration is Glucose + Yeast → Carbon dioxide + Alcohol + Energy

As alcohol is produced as one of the byproducts of anaerobic respiration, thus yeast is used in wine and beer preparation.
