A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms. In the cell, the food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water using oxygen. When breakdown of glucose occurs with the use of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The respiration process occurs in all types of living things like plants, human being, animals, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the natural environment, plants produce their own food to survive. As with photosynthesis, plants get oxygen from the air through the stomata. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called “aerobic respiration".

Detailed explanation-5: -Respiration is essential for growth and maintenance of all plant tissues, and plays an important role in the carbon balance of individual cells, whole-plants and ecosystems, as well as in the global carbon cycle.
