The correct answer is aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration aerobic and anaerobic. In aerobic respiration, oxygen is required and in anaerobic respiration oxygen is absent. Aerobic respiration consists of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and electron transport system.

Glycolysis is the common process in both the type of respiration in which glucose is partially oxidized into pyruvate. Then in aerobic respiration, this pyruvate is completely oxidized into CO2 during the Kreb cycle and NADH and FADH2 is generated which is used in oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP.

In anaerobic respiration, pyruvate molecules are used to generate alcohol or lactic acid and ATP and this process is called fermentation. Therefore the right answer is called aerobic respiration.
