Answer: The correct answer is C) Mitochondria.

Aerobic cellular respiration is a metabolic process in which glucose is oxidized to release large amount of energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) that is utilized for various cellular activities.

It occurs in three phases that is Glycolysis ( occurs in cytoplasm of cell), Kreb cycle ( occurs in mitochondrial matrix), and Electron transport chain ( in the inner mitochondrial membrane).

Mitochondia is the organelle that utilizes oxygen as final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to release energy and CO₂ ( carbon dioxide).
