B
Cellular respiration
C
Protein synthesis
D
Calvin cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the correct answer is option ‘Glycolysis’.

Detailed explanation-2: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria, using oxygen available within the cell convert chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell. The process is called oxidative phosphorylation and it happens inside mitochondria.
