Answer:D.the lateral malleolus of the fibula.

Explanation:The ankle is the area/joint where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle consists of three joints which includes

(1) Talocrural joint,

(2) The subtalar joint,

(3) Inferior tibiofibular joint.

The main bones of the ankle region are the talus (in the foot), and the tibia and fibula (in the leg). The malleolus is the bony prominence on each side of the human ankle and the most prominent point of possible injuries or fracture when twisting takes place under great force.

Witch step of cellular respiration will not take place in the absence of oxygen
Over [174]

The answer is; glycolysis

This process converts glucose molecule to pyruvate. It is an oxygen-independent pathway, unlike the Krebs cycle. Glycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle (aerobic pathway) occurs in the mitochondria. In the presence of oxygen, the product of glycolysis, i.e pyruvate, is fed to the Krebs cycle.  If oxygen is unavailable the pyruvate is converted to lactate.
