Pyruvate oxidation
B
Fermentation
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electron transport chain (ETC) occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where the OXPHOS takes place through the action of ATP synthase, [37].

Detailed explanation-2: -Both the cycles that are named as citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria of a cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the electron transport chain, electrons are passed from one molecule to another, and energy released in these electron transfers is used to form an electrochemical gradient. In chemiosmosis, the energy stored in the gradient is used to make ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -The electron transport chain activity takes place in the inner membrane and the space between the inner and outer membrane, called the intermembrane space.
