Answer:

It is a facultative anaerobic organism.

Explanation:

This organism makes ATP (energy provider molecule) by aerobic respiration in presence of oxygen, but when oxygen is removed it is capable of switching to fermentation (sugar consumption increases and growth rate decreases).

This happens because fermentation is much less effective at producing ATP and therefore there is not enough energy for growth.

This organisms are called facultative anaerobic.

Organisms with this type of metabolism include bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella or yeast like Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Now apart from these two, there is a third type which is called as capillaries, which are the connecting vessels between arteries and veins. These are relatively thinner and allow exchange of gases between tissues and the blood. Therefore, arteries and veins are incorrect options.

Heart is the pumping organ, and its function is to pump the blood to every cell of the body, so this can't be correct option.
