photosynthesis
B
anaerobic respiration
C
aerobic respiration
D
fermentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Mitochondria have an important role in cellular respiration through the production of ATP, using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients. Mitochondria are also responsible for generating clusters of iron and sulfur, which are important cofactors of many enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: Mitochondria is present in the aerobic organisms only as the aerobic part of the cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. ATP is formed by the reactions of the Krebs cycle in the mitochondrial matrix and Electron Transport System (ETS) in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
