cytoplasm
B
nucleus
C
cell membrane
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation reactions occur in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate does not enter the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -False-Mitochondria is a seat of aerobic respiration, Fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm of anaerobically respiring microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation is a reaction that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells use to obtain energy from food when oxygen levels are low. Because no oxygen is used, fermentation makes less ATP than cellular respiration does. Fermentation takes place in a cell’s cytoplasm, not in mitochondria.
